We-Pee News — urine separator

One of the best things about selling just the separator — rather than a finished toilet — is seeing the wildly different ways people build around it. As one customer put it, the only limit is your imagination. From the Netherlands, Guido Willemsen sent us his neat, clever build: “See below my solution for your We-Pee separator. Thanks for your contribution to this.” Simple, tidy and entirely his own. Neil went all in. “I built my own cabinet for it and a custom cabin around that, all from recycled materials. I added a few embellishments for comfort, got some friends...

From fincas tucked into the Spanish countryside to off-grid cabins along the Mediterranean coast, the baño seco — the dry toilet — is booming. Long hot summers and precious water make a waterless loo a genuinely smart choice, and a urine separator is the part that makes it all work.

We love seeing where ours end up, and Steffi’s camper-van loo is a real beauty. “Finally I have built my CampingVan compost toilet,” Steffi told us from Germany. “The challenge for me was to save space, so I didn’t want to use a usual toilet seat.
