November 19th 2018, the fifth annual World Toilet Day, is our most exciting to date. Over the past year we have been honoured to work with Laguna Water, a joint venture of Manila Water and the Laguna Provincial Government, on rolling out the Laguna Portable Toilet Solution (PTS), piloting a first-of-its-kind utility business model for providing non-sewered household toilets. Today, following a successful pilot, we are excited to announce that we will be supporting the Laguna PTS scale-up starting in 2019.

​Loowatt supplies waterless flush toilets and sanitation solutions for global markets. We have been developing and testing whole value-chain sanitation hardware in the UK (public toilets) and Madagascar (household toilets) since 2013. We have been working with utilities in both countries since 2016. As of August 2018, our toilets have been used by over 100,000 customers and we have delivered 200 tonnes of fecal sludge to closed-loop treatment. 

Both sewers and on-site sanitation systems face increasing challenges due to climate change, as highlighted by recent droughts and floods in global cities such as Cape Town and Jakarta.[1] 29% of the world’s population is served by basic sanitation: Latrines and septic tanks where waste is untreated, spreading disease rampantly, especially in floods.[2] ​

21st Century people - and toilet developers - need to mention menstruation. 

Loowatt toilets have just landed at Arcadia Spectacular, a spectacle of cutting-edge engineering which marks the start of Loowatt's event season in 2018.
