ECOLOO - An innovation that saves water and environment Decentralized odourless sustainable waterless toilet technology
Millions of people are visiting the lost city at Petra and toilets which doesn't need any infrastructure (digging, piping, septic tank, treatment facility..etc), pollution, maintenance and water supply are very much needed and urgent. UNESCO has strict rules when it comes to what kinds of toilets that would be accepted in such areas. ECOLOO was the only solution that met those rules and we were awarded the first contract by end of 2015 to supply 10 units, and a similar contract by end of 2016.
Mission
The objective is 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 PAP’s total area which is around 264 square kilometers.Approach
Prior to the installation of our ECOLOO Toilets, Petra received a yellow card from UNESCO for being unsustainable where tourists had nowhere to go but open defecation polluting the environment badly. Flushing toilets were installed in few areas only.Answer questions about the project
