How a toilet can save the planet | Our video statement

The way we handle urine in wastewater management causes one of today’s major environmental problems, i.e., nitrate pollution from nitrogen-containing fertilizers and the eutrophication of bodies of water that result in oxygen-depleted waters called “dead zones”. Yet, urine is a valuable resource for agriculture if the substances within it can be separated and recycled.

Together with the Viennese design team EOOS, LAUFEN has developed the world’s first urine-separating toilet that meets industry standards in the developed world. This innovative toilet is gradually coming into our everyday lives.
