Abstract
A basic concept of non flushing toilets and the system of their utilization isproposed. The toilets have low environmental loads, and also have possibilities to change organic matters emittedin houses from waste to resource. In houses, both garbage and excrement are dried in the toilets. Then dried organic matters are collected to composting plants, and then they are changed to the fertilizer.
Advantages of this toilet are as follows.
1. This toilet saves water resources.
2. The eutrophication of sea and lakes is not brought about, because the nutrient is not carried in the sewerage.
3. The soil in the farmland is supplied with phosphorus and mineral.
