FAQ

The Laveo DryFlush Toilet efficiently manages waste to keep your environment clean and odour-free:

Waste Management:
- Sealed Wrapping: During each “flush,” waste is automatically wrapped and sealed in our proprietary bagging material.
- Hidden Storage: The sealed waste is stored in a lined receptacle under the seat.
When the receptacle is full, simply lift out the liner bag containing all the wrapped waste, tie it off, and dispose of it in any garbage bin.

With the Laveo DryFlush Toilet, you will never see or smell the waste, ensuring a hygienic and pleasant experience. For more information on our waste management system, visit DryFlush Australia!

Bagging System Details:
- Cartridge Capacity: Each cartridge holds a single mylar bag that is over 5 metres long.

- Flushes Per Cartridge: Each 5-metre cartridge bag typically provides about 15 flushes.
- Extended Use: By using pee-powder, many users can achieve between 25 and 30 uses per 5-metre cartridge bag.

Laveo Pee Powder is a non-toxic, biodegradable powder designed to enhance your Laveo DryFlush Toilet experience:

Benefits of Pee Powder:
- Transforms Urine: The powder turns urine into a gel while deodorising it, eliminating the need to flush every time.
- Cost Savings: By reducing flush frequency, you extend the use of each bagging cartridge from 15 flushes to up to 30 uses, potentially cutting your bag costs in half.
- Easy to Use: Simply sprinkle a small amount (no more than a teaspoon) into the bowl before urinating. Within two minutes, your urine will turn into an odourless gel that won't slosh or smell.
- Multiple Uses: You can comfortably use the toilet for up to three pees before needing to flush. However, it's recommended not to exceed three uses before flushing. Note that Pee Powder is not intended for solid waste.

Steps for Disposal:
1. Remove the Cartridge: Once you've used up the 5-metre mylar bag, lift off the toilet seat to expose the plastic cartridge.

Curious about the environmental impact of the mylar bagging material used in the Laveo DryFlush Toilet? Here’s what you need to know:

Mylar Material Facts:
- Common Use: Mylar is widely used in packaging everyday food items like chocolate bars, nuts, chips, crackers, and energy bars. These items, like our mylar bags, end up in landfill.
- Purpose of Mylar: Just as mylar keeps your snacks fresh, it serves an essential purpose in the Laveo DryFlush system by securely containing waste and preventing odours.

Environmental Considerations:
- Biodegradable Alternatives: While we would love to use biodegradable materials, our tests show that they do not effectively contain waste or maintain sanitary conditions, especially during extended camping trips.
- Waste Comparison: A DryFlush cartridge managing 30 toilet events weighs approx 169 grams. In contrast, a disposable nappy with similar capacity weighs 1,500 grams, nearly 900% more mass. Each year, Australians dispose of approximately 2 billion disposable nappies and manage the waste of over 5 million domestic dogs, all contributing significantly to landfill.

Responsible Disposal: DryFlush users contribute minimally to landfill compared to dog waste bags and nappies. Plus, our customers never empty chemical toilets that could into rivers or natural habitats, maintaining cleanliness and environmental responsibility.


Practical Insights:
- Camping Reality: When camping, disposing of mylar bags is no different from discarding chip packets and other mylar-packaged products. It ensures a fresh-smelling campsite, RV, or tent.

One of the standout benefits of the Laveo DryFlush Toilet is its water-saving capability:

Water Savings:
- Annual Savings: Each Laveo DryFlush Toilet can save upwards of 6,500 litres of water each year.

Consider the Benefits:
When evaluating the impact and benefits of Laveo DryFlush toilets, remember that our system provides a hygienic and practical solution for managing waste, with minimal environmental impact compared to common alternatives.

Yes, it is legal to dispose of human waste in landfills. Here's why and how it works:

Legal and Practical Aspects:
- Regulations: All landfills are equipped to accept human waste, as they accommodate baby and adult diapers. Standard regulations require that waste be contained in plastic bags.
- Material Used: Our mylar bags are made from the same material used to package everyday food items like chocolate bars, nuts, chips, crackers, and energy bars. These items, like our mylar bags, end up in landfills.

Environmental Considerations:
- Mylar's Purpose: Although we would prefer not to use mylar, it serves an essential purpose. Biodegradable alternatives we tested do not effectively contain waste over time, especially during extended camping trips. Mylar ensures your campsite, van, or RV remains odour-free and clean.
- Waste Comparison: A DryFlush cartridge managing 30 toilet events weighs 169 grams, compared to a disposable nappy with similar capacity weighing 1,500 grams. Australia disposes of approximately 1 million disposable nappies and manages the waste of over 5 million dogs daily, significantly contributing to landfill.

Practical Insights:
- Camping Reality: Disposing of mylar bags is no different from discarding chip packets and other mylar-packaged products. It keeps your camping area fresh and hygienic.
- Responsible Disposal: DryFlush users contribute minimally to landfill compared to dog waste bags and nappies. Our customers do not empty chemical toilets into natural habitats, maintaining environmental responsibility.

Consider the Benefits:
