Natures Head composting toilet. A typical marine toilet stores your waste in a tank where it sloshes around until it is eventually pumped overboard or sucked out by what is basically a giant poop vacuum. People put funky chemicals into the holding tanks to try to lessen the odors. When the tanks are pumped overboard a mess of human waste and chemicals are flushed untreated into the water. That’s, quite literally, a shitty thing to do, especially when you’re near shore.
A composting toilet solves all those problems. It separates solids from liquids, then stores the solids in a container filled with stuff like peat moss or shredded coconut husks. This organic material quickly breaks down the poop into what looks and smells like forest dirt. When the container is eventually full, you simply dump the stuff into a sack and use it as fertilizer. There is no odor, no pumping out, and best of all, no discharge into the water. Composting toilets work equally well in RVs, campsites, and an increasing number of people even install them in their homes.
