Finished projects and research
Drytoilets as part of European water and
wastewater management
The aim of the project which started in the beginning of 2007 is
to promote drytoilet technology in Europe. The target regions are
Portugal, Baltian region and Finland. In practice the project is
establishing relations to the target countries, to build drytoilets
and educate people about the use of drytoilets. The material that
is used in the project was gathered during a previous project “Drytoilets
to Europe”. Now the experiences of the users of drytoilets
can be utilized to adopt drytoilet culture to the target countries.
As a part of the project, The Global Dry toilet Club published
a new Finnish dry toilets brochure. It presents the Finnish dry
toilet manufacturers and their products. The brochure was published
in the beginning of March 2007. You can find the brochure also in
the internet. Finnish
dry toilets brochure (pdf, size 1,7 Mb).
The immediate targets regarding the countries involved:
- In Finland to produce experiences and literal information on
functionality of in-house-drytoilets and especially to inform people
of the gathered information
- In Estonia and Latvia to collect experiences on the functionality
of Finnish drytoilets and to inform people about the Finnish drytoilet
technology through demonstration sites.
- In Portugal and Lithuania to learn about the legislation concerning
the use of drytoilets and the ways to start co-operating to increase
the level of knowledge on drytoilet technology.
