It can fit any purposes in any situation or weather conditions, no digging or sewage piping or septic tank required, just plug and use. It is easy to install, be it temporary or permanent.

Performance

Over 10 million users in 18 countries are using ECOLOO toilets daily in public and crowded areas such as the lost city of Petra where toilets which don’t need any infrastructure (digging, piping, septic tank, treatment facility..etc), pollution, maintenance and water supply are very much needed and urgent.  The objective was to offer tourists decent toilets in Petra especially on the main trail extending from the Siq to the Treasury. That forms only 5% (13 square KM) of the total area which is around 264 square kilometers.  Our contributions to the society have been recognized as iconic and strategic by the United Nations, World CSR Congress Council, China Tourist Association & Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation among others:

Testing and Demonstration Results

UNDP have purchased “ECOLOO” to be installed in places that lacked toilet facilities at UNESCO World Heritage Sites namely Dibbeen Forest Reserve, Wadi Rum Reserve and Petra Archaeological Park (PAP) in Jordan. Some units are installed on very high latitude (600 and 1200 steps above the ground). After a year, the project, authorities and tourists were so satisfied with our solution and ordered another 10 units to cope with the numbers of tourists visiting the sites.

To date, UNDP Jordan purchased 20 ECOLOO units in total during the last 2 years distributed in Petra (4+10 units), Wadi Rum Reserve (4 units) and Dibbeen Forest Reserve (2 units) with very satisfactory results. Our toilets serve roughly around 3000 visitors/day in Petra alone producing some 20 litres of concentrated liquid fertiliser/unit/day. It’s well known that Jordan is considered No.2 in the world when it comes to water scarcity & the situation is getting worse due to the Syrian crisis.

Water and Energy Savings:

With 3,000 people using ECOLOO saving 8 liters per flush per visit, within 1 year the impact would be:
