While lack of awareness and ignorance regarding the benefits of hygienic sanitary facilities is one of the reasons behind it, affordability is also another major factor.

Once installed, these toilets continue to serve for several years and also require zero maintenance. As a result, eco toilets prove to be cost effective not only in short run but also long run and are therefore an ideal solution for millions of Indians who cannot afford expensive and high maintenance toilets.

These toilets come with self cleaning technology and are equipped with stainless steel wash basin, mirror, napkin incinerator and napkin holder. Installing such toilets in educational institutions will prevent girls from dropping out of school.

In the absence of safe and hygienic sanitary facility at homes in rural India, women and young girls are forced to face the maximum brunt. Even during odd hours, women and girls need to step out of their homes and walk long distances to defecate and urinate in open. Numerous attacks and cases of sexual abuse have been reported till date. Eco-friendly toilets will help India in ending such an ordeal.

Innovative & Sustainable Sanitary Solution

Eco-friendly toilets are innovative not only in design but also in features. These toilets come with bio membrane reactor which recycles water and have solar panels as the alternate energy source. This is an important feature as India is fighting both water and energy crunch. Some high end variants in these toilets are also equipped with audio instructions, automated doors and sensor enabled lights.

Eco-friendly toilets are becoming increasingly popular in India. Indian Railways have already adopted these toilets in several coaches of their railcars and have plans to expand their use across the entire network including platforms in near future. Construction industry, where labors continuously need to move from one site location to another, is also using portable, eco toilets. Public sanitation facilities across India are soon going to feature these modern innovative toilets. Government must take measures and provide policy support to make rural households aware of these eco-friendly toilets and their multiple benefits and increase user-adoption.
