New report:

Market survey – extremely low flush toilets plus urine diverting toilets and urinals, for collection of black water and/or urine

A survey of toilets and urinals that use very little water and therefore are suitable for collection of blackwater, i.e. toilet waste, in closed tanks or for further transport in a central pipe system. The survey concentrates on products available in Sweden, but also covers some products from northern Europe that so far do not have retailers in Sweden.

The report covers 19 different toilets and urinals and gives a description of the function and water/energy consumption as well as price and contact information to the manufacturers.

The report is available in Swedish and English and can be ordered from WRS Uppsala AB, tel +46-(0)18-60 41 03 or by e-mail: toaguide@swedenviro.com. The price is 100 SEK (excl VAT and freight). It can also be down-loaded from http://www.swedenviro.com/svenska/pdf-filer/engmarknadsoversikt.PDF
