a compostable composting toilet

2023

Honors project

This project seeks to eliminate the “ick” factor associated with composting toilets, through the use of a compostable bin made from mycelium materials.

Mycelium, the root network of fungi, serves as nature’s decomposer and can be used as a binding agent to make biodegradable materials. With the compostable bin, there’s no need for a secondary compost heap, and users are no longer required to deal with the organics left in the bucket.
