LooPi®

LooPi® is a Plant-based unisex urinal, treating the wastewater generated from flushing in an integrated vertical constructed wetland ecosystem. The nutrients in the urine are transformed into fertilizer and the treated wastewater is reused for flushing. This way LooPi® is closing the water loop within its own functional system.

Sustainable Circular Public Urinal

An intelligent alternative to public urinals, ideal for technology centres, cities, companies, university and sport campuses, shopping malls, zoos and wherever people need to go to the toilet!
