Transforming global sanitation
through innovative technology and pioneering urban services, because everyone deserves to flush with happiness.
Impact Report 2024
Impact Report 2024
Our 2024 Impact Report highlights how our waterless, circular sanitation systems are transforming lives in Madagascar and South Africa.
From reducing water waste to empowering women and delivering dignity to underserved communities, last year’s milestones show that Loowatt’s sanitation system + blueprint can drive profound social and environmental change. Dive in to see how we’re shifting the paradigm, one toilet at a time.
The Loowatt System™
-
Our patented waterless flush toilet hermetically seals waste in a lining material and transfers it to a container below the floor, locking away germs and odour and providing clean bowl for every use.
When the container is full, the servicing team swaps it out for a new one.
-
No water and no chemicals! Even compared to low-flush toilets, Loowatt can save homes more than 3,600L of water every year.
-
No exposure to waste, no waste building up around your home, and no faecal plume from misting flush water. All thanks to our unique sealing technology.
-
Servicing our toilets takes just a few moments and is a clean, easy job for servicers, with no heavy trucks or bad smells.
-
Loowatt captures waste as fresh feedstock for circular processing into biogas and nutrients (organics) and recycling (non-organics), free of biocide chemicals or organic additives.
Entities like GasyGrow in Madagascar then deliver the full potential of the circular economy by converting waste to biogas and fertiliser using anaerobic digestion.
-
Customers in South Africa call our toilets “on par with a flush toilet.”
And in Madagascar, some customers say that they even take time to read magazines or play with their phones when they are inside.
