The EcoJohn Senior doesn’t use water so it not only saves this precious resource but also reduces waste going into the environment.
It looks and works like ordinary toilets except the waste is taken away to a special chamber where it is burnt to ashes. The Ecojohn is gas-fueled which might be somewhat off putting for some people! Any small amount of smoke is filtered through a catalytic converter before releasing to the exterior. You can see a video of how it works here.
The company also has a basic model which is a separating and dry composting toilet. EcoJohn toilets can be used either in the home or for trailers. Their clients also include the US military and disaster relief organisations.
What's Driving This Trend
- Waterless Toilets
- There is an opportunity for companies to disrupt the traditional water-based toilet industry.
- Incineration Toilets

Who This Affects Most
- Plumbing
- Plumbing companies can incorporate waterless toilet technology into their offerings and contribute to water conservation in homes and commercial spaces.
- Off-grid Living
- The off-grid living industry can capitalize on the potential to offer waterless and composting toilets as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional water-based toilets.
- Disaster Relief
