Problem
Traditional portable toilet facilities often rely on chemical additives and significant water usage, posing environmental concerns and potential health risks. These systems can also generate unpleasant odors and require specialized disposal methods, adding to operational costs and logistical challenges.
Solution
öKlo provides ecological sanitation solutions through portable, waterless toilet facilities that utilize composting technology and sustainable materials. These toilets use wood shavings instead of water or chemicals, saving approximately 5 liters of drinking water per use. The design separates solid and liquid waste to minimize odors, while the wood shavings further bind odor-causing substances. öKlo offers a range of services, including rental, purchase, and maintenance, ensuring a clean and environmentally friendly restroom option for various applications.
