Designing Your

Circular, Sustainable

Toilets

There are a lot of options when considering circular, sustainable toilets. At Point of Shift we help to sift through the noise and design a toilet unique to you.

Creating a World Filled with Sustainable, Beautiful Toilets

You know you want (or are highly considering) a sustainable toilet – a toilet that treats your home’s, business’s, or community’s waste and converts it into a valuable resource. Amazing! The world needs more people thinking about how to manage our waste more sustainably.

But where do you start? You may have found some information on compost toilets (which is only one of the many types of circular sanitation systems), but the internet can be overwhelming with options.

Circular sanitation systems are like unique snowflakes. Your situation, home, and vision is unique – your toilet system should be too.

The good news! With changing regulations and new innovative toilets, there’s never been a better or easier time to implement a circular sanitation system in your backyard. Point of Shift can design your toilet to be a system that gives back to the planet by transforming your poop and pee into compost for your garden, water for irrigation, or gas for cooking.
