The Arborloo is a simple toilet that was designed to recycle human waste within a shallow pit where the contents were transformed from a vile and disease forming material into a product in which trees could grow and thrive without the user having to be in contact with the material.
The ventilated Arborloo is an important addition to the variety of ecological toilets available for people living in the rural areas of the country. It is a hybrid between the Blair VIP toilet and the Arborloo. The original Arborloo controlled odours and fly breeding by the regular addition to the pit of soil, wood ash and leaves. This version is slightly smaller, but uses the same principle as the larger version.
