Clivus (toilet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clivus, Latin for "inclination", is a composting toilet system with an inclined bottom. Clivus Multrum is an inclining composting room, which was first built as a prototype 1939 in Tyresö, Sweden by art teacher Rikard Lindström.
A handful of prototypes were constructed and are still in operation as of 2005. The process has been dubbed "enclosed, long-term composting" and is characterized by being odor-free, extremely low maintenance and able to yield a clean, pathogen-free liquid fertilizer that can be used in agriculture.
