Kolkata: With nearly two billion people worldwide lacking access to clean water, Swedish eco-innovation company ECOLOO is transforming sanitation with its patented waterless toilet technology. Designed to conserve water, eliminate sewage dependency, and generate organic fertilizer, the solution is already deployed across 25+ countries, including India, the Middle East, Chile, and Africa.
“Our system saves up to 95% of the water typically used by traditional toilets, with the remaining 5% allocated for hygiene and cleaning,” said Imad Agi, Co-Founder of ECOLOO.
How It Works
ECOLOO toilets use a natural aerobic bacteria culture to transform human waste into a nutrient-rich, pathogen-free liquid fertilizer. This organic byproduct, safe and odourless, can be reused in agriculture, landscaping, and community gardens, closing the loop between sanitation and food security.
India Connect: Swachh Bharat Mission
Aligned with India’s Swachh Bharat Mission, ECOLOO, in partnership with BOOTES, is introducing SAFE (Sustainable Affordable Flexible Ecological) Toilets. These toilets operate without water or electricity and require minimal maintenance.
“By producing fertilizer, the model not only supports food security but also creates income opportunities for communities,” Agi added.
Tackling a Global Crisis
Sanitation-related illnesses remain one of the world’s biggest challenges, with 10,000 people dying every day due to waterborne diseases linked to toilet waste. ECOLOO’s scalable, eco-friendly model aims to address these issues through government, NGO, and CSR partnerships in underserved regions.
Towards Net-Zero Infrastructure
As countries transition to net-zero infrastructure, ECOLOO’s “Recover, Reuse, Recycle” philosophy offers a practical path to sustainable sanitation, water conservation, and agricultural growth.
