WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE SAGO DRY TOILET?
GREAT FOR PEOPLE, GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
1. DESIGNED FOR PNG AND MADE IN PNG
A sanitation solution designed for rural communities and coastal villages throughout PNG, especially those affected by flood-prone or high water table environments.
A product made in PNG supporting local jobs through local manufacturing.
A solution firmly aimed at improving community health through quality design.
2. WATERLESS SOLUTION
No water is required to process the waste.
All rain water collected can be used for handwashing.
Toilet tanks are fully sealed, sit above ground and do not allow rainwater or ground water to reach waste material, eliminating risk of water contamination.
3. PERMANENT SOLUTION
High quality manufacturing uses plastics that ensure a lifespan of at least 15 years.
Core components have been industrially designed to ensure good functionality now and into the future.
4. NO SMELL AND NO FLIES
No smell due to a ventilation system that uses both wind and convection to draw smells up and out above the toilet. Good seals keep flies and insects out.
Output is a dry sand-like fertiliser that is largely free of smells and can be used productively on fruit trees or flowering plants.
5. EASY TO USE
4 simple steps for daily use with graphical reminders built into the toilet’s core components.
Minimal maintenance on a 6-monthly basis for emptying of dry fertiliser from the dehydrated tank.
6. EASY TO TRANSPORT
All core components of the Sago Dry Toilet are delivered as a packaged kit of parts with the dual tanks and all components designed to be stacked.
One packaged Sago Dry Toilet is easily transported in the back of a small truck or within a banana boat as a compact package.
7. SAFE FOR PEOPLE
Each toilet has dual dehydration tanks with rotation every 6 months making cross-contamination impossible between the fresh waste in one tank and the dry fertiliser in the other tank.
Output is a dry sand-like fertiliser that hardly smells and can be buried or used under fruit trees or flowering plants. Use of fertiliser directly on root crops should be avoided.
8. SAFE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Designed to isolate waste from people until transformed into fertiliser and is safe to be returned to the environment.
Perfect for high water
table environments with no contamination of the water table or well water sources.
