Unlike flush toilets, which treat human manure as waste, a composting toilet lets you reclaim and recycle nutrients--using the same biological process as garden composting piles to break down excreta, or human manure. What's left is nutrient-rich organic matter, or humus, which can be used as a soil amendment." (MOTHER EARTH NEWS) This article explains how composting toilets function.
