  • Cinderella Eco Group first designed their incineration toilets 20 years ago to meet the needs of the leisure home owner in Norway, where cottages are often built in difficult or sensitive terrain without access to sewage systems – and often quite far away from civilization. The need to supply a user-friendly sustainable indoor toilet solution to replace the often-primitive outdoor outhouses was pressing. The Cinderella Incineration Toilet uses no water and needs no sewage hook-up. It is easy to install and requires a minimal upkeep as well as a minimal handling of remains: ashes documented free of all pathogens.

  • Providing the leisure home owner with a sustainable sanitation solution where all waste is burned, met with the need to design a simple, safe and fail-proof system with an installation kit, complete with air-flow pipes, a maintenance kit and the commode itself, complete with the incineration unit at the base. The system has been perfected to enhance user-friendliness and efficient aftermarket service which entails a full-scale service every five years, where the owner can easily remove the light-weight commode and deliver it to their local dealer. The toilets are approved and accredited by the prevailing institutions wherever Cinderella is sold.

  • As the only quality product of its kind on the market, tested, developed and improved and officially certified over the last 20 years, the innovative engineering design has met with attention from government institutions, the Gates Foundation’s Reinvented Toilet initiative and many independent researchers and developers, winning Best-in-test from Europe’s largest test laboratory, Testfakta. The global demand for a safe, pathogen-free, waterless sanitation solution meets the needs of a society where water is scarce and diseases from poor sanitation are prevalent. The components are recyclable and the output values to air and ashes are free of all harmful ingredients.
