• Compost toilets are dry and free from the kind of putrid odours often associated with the conventional toilet. Don't forget – there's no flush. 
   
• The composting tank beneath the toilet seat has been installed to store all your poo and pee. It is prepared with nutrients like carbon to assist the composting process and neutralise the odours. 
   
• Once you have finished your business with the compost toilet, use the Tetra Pak recycled toilet paper, throw it inside the toilet and close the lid immediately to keep the heat and flies out.
   
• Human beings produce two kinds of outputs: liquid and solid. These are kept in a compost tank where temperatures reach up to 50 degrees celsius. Time and high temperature will lead most pathogens to eventually die.
   
• Once the pathogens have been killed off, the resulting material is sent to a lab to be analysed and if the results are confirmed positive, it is utilised to create soil for the land.

Compost toilets are essentially living organisms – it's paramount that we follow the guidelines necessary to their survival and proper functioning:

• Plastics are not biodegradable. Please do not throw period care products (sanitary towels and tampons) and nappies/diapers into the toilet.

• Cigarette butts cannot be broken down by the composting process, use the portable ashtrays instead.

• Do not pour the contents of the caravan’s chemical toilet into the compost toilet.  

• Because your poo can become gold and can create organic fertiliser to feed the flowers, trees and edible gardens. 

• We save water. The average flush uses between 6 and 15 litres of potable water while as of 2025, 703 million people (source: wateraid) are living without clean water close to home. 

• If we consider that going to the toilet on a average of six times per day wastes up to 60L p/day, during the eight days of Boom Festival, the use of compost toilets by 40,000 Boomers help save over 19 millions of liters of water.

• Compost toilets are chemical free, which means we avoid overloading the public water treatment plant with chemicals.

• We create compost soil. By collecting the manure of 30,000 to 40,000 Boomers, we help nourish the earth by creating an organic compost that is combined with the soil, thus making it more fertile.

• Over the years we've developed a model of compost toilets that has become practically odourless, and above all, comfortable to all users.
