These self-contained toilets treat the waste without harming the environment


Samsung has developed a self-contained toilet system that can recycle waste, without harming the environment. — Samsung

Samsung has revealed that it is working on a major project to reinvent the toilet, in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. For the moment, the project takes the form of a prototype, capable of recycling its waste. The idea is to be able to market this type of toilet one day, especially in countries where clean water is scarce.

Samsung's research and development branch, based in South Korea, is working on this project and has just presented a first prototype. The energy-efficient prototype, which doesn't need to be connected to the sewage system, has been in development for three years.
