About

EcoLet™ is where sustainable living meets innovation and convenience. Our award-winning Swedish-designed self-contained solutions are designed with you and the environment in mind.

We offer two on-floor system types that don’t require sub-floor clearance, allowing for installation in a variety of sites and buildings.

The second type, the EcoLet™ Separera Mini, is a compact urine-separating toilet which offers urine diversion or urine containment for small bathrooms, tiny homes or mobile homes.

Our technology is efficient, odourless and easy to use. With EcoLet™ composting toilets, you can make a difference without compromising on quality or convenience.

Technology

EcoLet™ combines innovative technology with eco-friendly values, providing the world with convenient toileting solutions that benefit the planet. We offer two types of self-contained/on-floor indoor solutions that don’t require sub-floor space, ideal for New Zealand tiny homes and baches: these are the zero-leachate 240 Range and the urine diversion Separera Minis.

The 240 Range is an award-winning design which features advanced technology like heating elements and automatic mixing. It is the only true zero-leachate system on the market, and is a true composter that creates nutrient-rich compost that’s usable direct from the tray!
 
The Separera Mini is a compact system that features urine diversion, offering both a containment option via a liquids container, and a urine diversion to soak-away option for situations where the land can receive discharge.
 
With over five decades of technological advancement, the EcoLet™ way cannot be beat.

History

1970s

EcoLet™ has been at the forefront of the composting toilet industry since its inception in the 1970s. Founded by passionate environmentalist Sture Andersson, EcoLet™ recognized the need for a more sustainable approach to waste management. At a time when flushing toilets were the norm, the founders of EcoLet™ sought to create a convenient, easy-to-use alternative that would minimize water usage while also producing high-quality compost.

1973

The company released its first self-contained composting toilet in 1972. A year later, in 1973, EcoLet™ won the gold medal for Outstanding Design on an Environmental Product at the International Inventors Exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland.

Composting or Urine-Diversion?

EcoLet™ offers two genuinely different systems. Here is the one-line version of each, before you look at the models.

Composting

The 240 Range

A true composter: heating and automatic mixing turn waste into usable humus. Zero-leachate — no leachate discharge, only composted material, to be buried straight to ground on the section.

  • Best for full-time homes, baches and cabins
  • Self-contained, no sub-floor space needed
  • Runs on 240V mains

Urine-diversion

The Separera Mini

Separates liquid from solids right at the bowl, which keeps solids drier and lower in odour. Compact and simple, with a container option or diversion to a soak-away where the land can receive discharge.

  • Best for small bathrooms, mobile homes and RVs
  • Compostable bag liner makes emptying easy
  • Low-power — suits off-grid setups

What Power Do You Have on Site?

For tiny homes, baches and remote builds this is usually the make-or-break question.

On your site there is…

The whole range is open to you

The 240 Range is a 240-volt unit — it uses heating elements and automatic mixing to compost actively, which is what makes it zero-leachate. The Separera Mini also works on mains.

Go with the Separera Mini

It is the low-power option and is well suited to off-grid power setups. It separates urine at the bowl instead of relying on heating, so it asks very little of your system.

Self-contained System Design

EcoLet’s™ self-contained, on-floor composting toilets offer a versatile and sustainable waste management solution that doesn’t require sub-floor space, making them easy to install in any tiny home, bach or indoor location.

EcoLet™ systems come in two types: zero leachate systems in the 240 Range, and urine diversion systems in the Separera Mini range.

Zero-Leachate Systems

EcoLet’s™ systems in the 240 Range are zero-leachate and fully self-contained, making them the natural solution for situations that call for no liquid discharge. The EcoLet™ 240 Range is also plug-and-play! There’s no need for trenches or soak-pits, making installation a breeze.

Put them in the basement, on the second floor, or in the attic – the world is your oyster! With heating elements and automatic mixing, these systems are the epitome of user-friendliness, providing comfortable use and low maintenance.

0 leachate discharge

Nothing Discharged to Ground

The 240 Range is a true zero-leachate system — no leachate discharge at all. What comes out is only composted material, to be buried straight to ground on the section.

A clean fit for consent-sensitive sites: near waterways, close to a bore, or on coastal land.

Urine Diversion Systems

EcoLet™ offers urine diversion systems for both mobile and residential applications. Hit the road in an RV with a urine container model or install a urine diversion to soak-away  model in your home, bach or outhouse.

With a composting chamber that can be lined with compostable bags, emptying is a walk in the park!

EcoLet™ Composting Toilet FAQs

The questions people ask before choosing a composting or urine-diverting toilet for a tiny home, bach or off-grid build in New Zealand.

What is a urine-diverting toilet?

It separates liquid from solids right at the bowl, which keeps the solids drier and lower in odour. EcoLet’s Separera Mini offers either a container option or a diversion-to-soak-away option where the land can receive discharge.

Composting or urine-diversion — which is better for me?

The 240 Range is a true composter that turns waste into usable humus; the Separera Mini is simpler, compact and low-power, ideal for small or mobile spaces. The right one depends on your site and how you’ll use it — we can help you choose.

Is there any drain or leachate?

The 240 Range is a true zero-leachate system — no leachate discharge to ground. That makes it a clean fit for consent-sensitive sites near waterways, a bore or coastal land.

Does it need power, and will it work off-grid?

The 240 Range is a 240-volt unit (it uses heating and automatic mixing) — we supply the full product specifications for your installer. The Separera Mini is a low-power option, well suited to off-grid power setups. Tell us your site and we’ll point you to the model that fits.

Does it smell?

Designed to be odourless with correct ventilation. Instead of flushing, you simply add a scoop of dry mix — clean, easy and just like using a normal toilet.

Which model suits my space?

Choose the 240 Range for a full composter with no leachate discharge — only composted material, to be buried straight to ground on the section — or the Separera Mini for compact bathrooms, baches or mobile homes. Tell us your space and we’ll recommend the right fit.

Not Sure Which EcoLet™ Fits?

Tell us your space, how many people use it, and whether you’d prefer composting or urine-diversion — we’ll point you to the right system, no obligation.
