Eco-friendly composting toilets have a huge number of benefits for the environment. Today we’ll explore another way that these unique fixtures make a positive impact on the world around us.
Environmental Benefit 2 - Use Less Water
Since many composting toilet systems are waterless, and since about 25% of the average American home’s water consumption is used to flush toilets, the potential water savings from composting toilets are huge. As much as 80 to 90 gallons of water per day, or approximately 32,000 gallons per year, can be saved in a U.S. household simply by installing composting toilets. When freshwater is saved, this also means that energy is saved-the energy that would otherwise go into wastewater treatment plants where wastewater is made clean again.
