Separation of liquid waste from solids<\/span><\/h2>\r\nMost importantly the reason why modern compost toilets don\u2019t smell is that they separate liquid waste from faeces and toilet paper<\/b>. Hence, the solid waste pile decomposes naturally during the composting process. Back in the old days when outhouses and other potties did not have urine-separation, the compost pile was almost always too wet to compost. Consequently, the toilet waste started rotting causing terrible odor. <\/span><\/p>\r\nThere are many ways how modern compost toilets can separate the liquids from solids.

<\/a>Negative pressure is another primary prerequisite for odorless experience in modern compost toilets. An exhaust fan<\/a><\/strong> is standard equipment in most new composting toilets. Air is drawn into the toilet tank every time the lid is opened to do your thing and vented out via a vent piping. This causes very little negative pressure within the toilet storage area. In the case of the Green Toilet<\/strong><\/a>, replacement air is drawn from the sides of the composting container so there is no negative pressure in toilet at all. Turning the fan on in a compost toilet is similar to turning on your bathroom fan, except that the fan is within the compost toilet and does not enable smells to escape.
