Equipment Pty Ltd; Kim Jaques, Bensons Property Group EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Dry composting toilets (DCTs) including urine separation in conjunction with grey water discharge to sewer can be an economical and practical sanitation option in an urban area, particularly where sewerage systems are not available or are under capacity. A high proportion of household waste loads (including over 80 % of the phosphorus and nitrogen) can be beneficial recycled to farmland, and water can be saved, all without increasing energy consumption for sanitation. Market research indicates demand for such a technology. A demonstration project involving equipping 12 new apartments with DCTs and an agricultural compost and urine recycling trial is proposed
