    These will be great for dry, rural places. However, for dense cities, I think the best things we can do are water recycling, using non-potable water for toilets, and saving tons of trees, water, and forever chemicals by adopting bidets- which would also considerably cut down the amount of waste we send through sewer systems. Nearly 60 lbs of toilet paper per person.

      There are many urban areas especially in dry countries that are very unlikely to ever get full sewerage. A container based dry toilet solution is IMHO the best technological option for densely populated non-sewered urban areas.

              Yes the majority of earth’s population lives in urban areas these days and most of them are unsewered.

              Many cities in the developing world have either no or only in a very small area sewers, and even less have sewer treatment systems.
