Reedbeds and Compost Toilets

About this event

Join us for a one-day practical course exploring compost toilets and off-grid water treatment systems, and learn from CAT’s decades of experience on this topic. On the course, you will gain a foundational understanding of the principles, benefits and limitations of sustainable, low-energy wastewater systems. This will be delivered in two key parts: compost toilets and off-grid water treatment systems. Both of these will have a theory and a practical component, taking advantage of the off-grid water systems here at CAT as a learning tool. If you’re living or working in a remote location and need low-impact, eco-friendly options for wastewater management, CAT is the place to come for inspiration and advice. You’ll leave knowing how to get started when creating public or private cost-effective low-maintenance amenities in remote locations or where no other option is available.
