Embrace Sustainable Travel with Composting Toilets

Welcome to the Trelino® family, where quality, innovation, and our love for camping come together to create products that not only enhance your outdoor experience but also contribute to a sustainable future. We want to talk to you about our solution for on-the-road sustainability: composting toilets. These toilets not only provide convenience and comfort while traveling but also have significant environmental benefits that align perfectly with sustainable travel practices.

Preserving Our Precious Resources

One of the primary environmental benefits of composting toilets is their ability to conserve water, a scarce resource that we all need to utilize responsibly. Traditional flush toilets consume about ¾ of a gallon of water with every use. When camping in remote or water-scarce areas, this amount is especially staggering to consider using. However, with a composting toilet, you can wave goodbye to excessive water usage. Our toilets use no water for flushing, as they utilize natural biological processes to break down waste instead of relying on water for disposal. Actually, using water with our toilets is what would cause smells, so save your water and keep it away from your Trelino! 

Eliminating Harmful Chemicals

Another significant advantage of composting toilets is that they eliminate the need for harsh chemicals in waste treatment. Cassette toilet systems rely on chemical treatments to break down waste, posing a threat to both human health and the environment. Composting toilets, on the other hand, use a natural decomposition process, eliminating the need for harmful chemicals. For ours, we recommend using all-natural cleaners. This would include vinegar or citric acid. This not only benefits the environment but also ensures a safe and odor-free experience for you and your fellow campers.

Enriching the Earth

One of the most remarkable aspects of composting toilets is how they transform waste into a valuable resource. The compost created by these toilets is rich in nutrients and organic matter, making it an excellent fertilizer for plants and gardens. In order to create the best material possible, and prevent smells, you would need to use a good litter material. This could be wood shavings, an organic small pet litter, coconut coir, or even a mix with some dried coffee grounds.

Instead of flushing your waste away, it can be repurposed to nourish the soil, contributing to a more sustainable and circular approach to waste management. By using a composting toilet, you are closing the loop and returning nutrients to the earth, demonstrating your commitment to sustainable travel and responsible waste management.

Leaving No Trace

Sustainable travel is all about minimizing our impact on nature. With composting toilets, you can ensure that you leave no trace of your presence when enjoying the great outdoors. These toilets are easy to use, portable, and require minimal setup, making them a convenient solution for camping trips, overland adventures, and weekend getaways. By using a composting toilet, you are actively avoiding the need to dig holes or leave waste exposed, respecting nature and preserving its beauty for others to enjoy. With a spare urine canister and bags used to line the solids container, it is even easier to pack your waste out of your camping grounds.
