The container and chute are made from low density polyethylene and contain breathing pipes and a filter floor to allow the liquid end product to drain to an outside soakaway. The breathing pipes are part of the 12 volt ventilation system that is supplied with a transformer if you are connected to the mains. A variety of pedestals is available with the system.
With a long track record of use in Australia, the Nature loo systems have proved to be reliable and easy to use where there is space to place the system under the toilet room.
