Toilet talk … Kohler’s commitment to delivering sustainable sanitation

Kohler Australia has joined forces with Not For Profit organisation Engineers Without Borders to celebrate National Toilet Day on November 19.

We will be highlighting the issue of lack of sanitation – and its devastating effects – with a display of more than 20 toilets outside Sydney Harbour’s Customs House. Each toilet will have had an ‘artistic makeover’ by one of a group of Sydney artists participating in the event.

This latest initiative is part of Kohler’s overall commitment to helping deliver sustainable sanitation to some of the most impoverished communities around the globe.

Recently Kohler partnered with Caltech in developing a solar-powered fully sustainable toilet that includes a self-contained water purification and disinfection system. This toilet is already in use in India – see the two videos below for a full appreciation of just how clever this toilet is.
