Inventors Of Waterless Toilet Want You To Cherish Your Shit
Filed under: Strange Artifacts
Japanese inventors have developed the biotoilet — a waterless toilet that uses sawdust instead of water.
At first sight, the biotoilet looks no different to a regular commode, but a peep inside reveals that its base is filled with sawdust instead of water.
After having made a deposit, the toilet is “flushed” by turning a handle that breaks down the business and mixes it together with the sawdust. After a few twists, the mixture is so well blended there’s no sign of any foreign objects having been dropped at all — even toilet paper!
Although the sawdust originally starts while in a light and fluffy condition, after a while it begins turning a darker color and becomes moist and clammy.
“You only need to change the sawdust twice a year,” the president says. “And you can recycle the sawdust from the toilet by using it as fertilizer.”
The inventors describe the sawdust-and-feces mix as “full of nutrients” that could be used as wonderful fertilizers, which they even intend to export. So I look forward to the day when supermarket shelves are lined with organically grown vegetables with the compelling selling point: Grown on Japanese shit.
