CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT OFWATERLESS TOILET

Abstract: Poverty is a real problem in many countries. These countries need extra support to get their lives back to a sanitary way of living again. Together with the organization X-Runner and Separett, the people of Peru get access to sanitation solutions such as toilets without profit. The problem is that the toilets are expensive and take up a lot of space during transport, which results in not enough toilets being sent. The developed toilet has been built from scratch together with the company Separett and Jönköping University as a thesis project at the master's program Industrial Design. During the project, further development of the company's visual design language was carried out. From sketches to a real visualization model, in addition to showcasing usage and packaging of the next generation of waterless toilets. The project’s solution to the problem is a compact cylindrical toilet that functions without water. There is one container for solid waste and another for liquid waste. One of the toilet's main functions is arriving in a flat package after shipping, which enables more toilets to be sent in the same transport. The toilet has also been developed with as few components as possible to reduce the cost and be an affordable alternative for everyone. Further tests of the toilet are needed as the toilet is still in the conceptual stage.
