With the waterless composting toilet “More,” TwoNeeds introduces a new, sustainable, and decentralized sanitary solution, along with innovative approaches to product experience and design. The toilet is made from natural and recycled materials that are durable, hygienic, and easy to clean. By collecting, composting, and returning biomass, the material cycle is closed, avoiding environmental pollution and the use of chemicals.
An extensive range of digital services supports the sustainable and positive impact of the product on the environment, particularly in urban areas. The design’s unique features include its natural and minimalist aesthetics, characterized by a conical shape that lends an almost iconic quality. By using durable and recyclable materials, the design emphasizes resource conservation and sustainability.
The product design minimizes unnecessary edges to enhance hygiene and ease of cleaning. The conical shape and minimalist design also create a spacious feel inside, contributing to user comfort. Externally, the design improves the image of event organizers, operators, or business owners in public spaces.
Attention was given to ergonomic details, such as the optimal seat height for comfort and the raised grip height for the chip container, which ensures users don’t have to work directly above the toilet opening when spreading the litter. The design focuses on functionality for easy transport, assembly, disassembly, use, and emptying of the composting toilet. The collapsible ladder principle facilitates transport and assembly, while the slopes and large surfaces ensure excellent service, hygiene, and cleaning.
