At Enviro Loo, our commitment to innovating sustainable sanitation solutions remains steadfast. We are excited to introduce the Enviro Loo Clear Water Efficient Sanitation System (WESS)—a groundbreaking, closed-circuit, 100% recycling, off-the-grid toilet system. With nearly 30 years of industry expertise, our reputation as a leading dry sanitation company led to our selection as the preferred supplier to assess this system under African conditions.
The Enviro Loo Clear WESS is the first of its kind in Africa—an advanced “Reinvent the Toilet” system that treats wastewater and eliminates pathogens through a natural biological process. Designed for sustainability, it operates independently of sewer connections, a continuous water supply, or electrical mains when paired with our solar energy storage system. As we look to the future, we are redefining water sanitation and conservation through the power of renewable energy.
Over an extensive 18-month testing period as part of the South African Sanitation Enterprise Programme (SASTEP), pilot projects at two schools and an informal settlement demonstrated the system’s reliability. These trials confirmed its ability to deliver a high-quality, aspirational flushing toilet experience with strong user acceptance. Now locally manufactured at our facility near Johannesburg, the Enviro Loo Clear WESS is already installed at 38 locations across South Africa, with many more units on order.
The global water crisis is intensifying. The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2030, freshwater demand will exceed supply by 40%, jeopardizing more than half of the world’s food production (theguardian.com). Additionally, over 4.4 billion people lack access to safe household drinking water, underscoring the urgency for sustainable water management solutions (vox.com).
Our multi-award-winning Enviro Loo dry toilet system continues to provide safe, dignified, and hygienic sanitation at schools, health clinics, households, and recreational facilities across South Africa and globally. Each Enviro Loo dry toilet can save up to 420,000 liters of water annually (equivalent to approximately R14,700 in annual savings). With a treatment capacity of 6,000 or 24,000 liters per day—or up to 8,760,000 liters annually (equivalent to R306,600 in savings) – the Enviro Loo Clear WESS sets a new standard in water conservation.
At Enviro Loo, we take pride in delivering high-quality, tailor-made sanitation solutions backed by excellent after-sales service. Each Enviro Loo and Enviro Loo Clear WESS comes with a compulsory minimum two-year service plan. Our business model fosters community empowerment by training and appointing local contractors for system installation and maintenance, creating valuable employment opportunities. Additionally, our social facilitation team ensures community buy-in and trains users on efficient system operation.
Our innovative sanitation solutions provide reliable, eco-friendly alternatives for communities and businesses with limited or no access to water-borne infrastructure. Ideal for schools, clinics, households, farms, mines, and factories, our systems support green building initiatives and minimize environmental impact. Whether in climate affected regions, heritage sites, or remote locations, we deliver sustainable waste management where it’s needed most—ensuring hygiene, efficiency, and responsible resource use.
Let us help you deliver a bespoke, purpose-driven sanitation experience that benefits both people and the environment.
