Composting Toilets

Go anywhere with the environmental solution!

Photo: Sun-Mar ExcelSUN-MAR composting toilets recycle waste on-site by evaporating the liquids, and converting the solids to a fertilizing soil that is perfect for uptake by plants. SUN-MAR composting toilets use naturally occurring aerobic bacteria to convert the carbon atoms in the waste to carbon dioxide, and the hydrogen atoms to water. In this way the waste is oxidized and reduced to its essential minerals. Since waste is some 95% moisture, after the liquid has been evaporated and the solid waste composted, the residual is only about 3% of the starting volume.

This recycling process avoids the need for sewers and central treatment plants. It also avoids invasive on-site treatment systems such as septic systems. SUN-MAR composting toilets are recycling marvels that are odorless, leave no footprint, do not pollute in any way, and can be installed anywhere a toilet is needed. Indeed a SUN-MAR is so obviously good for the planet that we wonder why everyone is not using them!

Available in electric and non-electric stand-alone units, as well as whole-house central systems.

Replace that costly gas or electric dryer the natural alternative!
Easy, efficient, and zero carbon footprint—that’s the beauty of drying your clothes on a wooden drying rack. Why waste money and energy when you can just let mother nature do all the work. In summer, set the racks out on your porch and let the sun do all the rest. Or in winter, set them up in front of your wood stove; that gives you two benefits: dry clothes and moist air.

Available in stand-alone racks or wall-mounted retractable units.

Window Inserts

Keep the cold out and the heat in!
No need to spend thousands of dollars tearing your house apart. The sturdy aluminum frame on these panels mounts on the indoor side of your existing windows or sliding doors. Weatherstripping seals the window to eliminate drafts and create a thermal barrier. These innovative insulating window panels have two separate surfaces (front and back) of clear glazing material which trap a 7/16" pocket of air between them. A second air pocket is created between the panel and your existing window. This technology triples the insulation value of your windows and can save you as much as 55% on your annual heating bills!
