The 'Sandi' toilet concept has been designed by Archie Read as a sustainable take on the essential fixture to provide those who live in rural of off-grid locations with a way to maximize efficiency.
The toilet is designed with a dual-section form to separate liquid and solid waste from one another, which would allow it to function with no water. The toilet features a mechanical flush to be run with no electricity and shifts solid waste away to a storage section where it can be repurposed as fertilizer.
The 'Sandi' toilet concept is built with accessibility in mind with the designer setting the price at $74 per unit, while still being suited for large families. The toilet would only need to be emptied of liquid waste every two days and solid waste every four days for a family of seven.
