History

Nature Loo composting toilets logo

1994

Nature Loo™ was founded in 1994 by Colin and Kathy Austin in Australia. The couple, who had a passion for sustainable living, were inspired to create a toilet system that was both environmentally friendly and practical.

Nature Loo’s™ success grew quickly, and the company expanded to offer a range of composting toilets to suit different needs, including self-contained and split systems.

The brand also became a leader in promoting composting as a viable and sustainable alternative to traditional flushing toilets, helping to reduce water consumption and minimize pollution.

Today

Nature Loo™ is a well-established brand with a global presence, selling its composting toilets to customers all over the world. The brand continues to innovate and improve its products, with a focus on making composting toilets more accessible and user-friendly for everyone.

Nature Loo’s™ history is a testament to the power of innovation and the importance of sustainable living. By providing a practical and effective alternative to traditional flushing toilets, the brand has helped to reduce environmental impact and promote a more responsible way of living.

Split Batching Systems

Nature Loo’s™ Split Batching Systems are an excellent addition to any bathroom, offering an aesthetically pleasing appearance, a comfortable toileting experience and effective composting performance. These systems are equipped with a beautiful porcelain pedestal, which functions as a waterless toilet fixture, connected to a composting chamber located beneath the floor.

These systems are ideal for anyone seeking a sustainable solution, whether it be a home, bach, outhouse, or commercial property.

With Nature Loo’s™ Split Batching Systems, you receive a standard kit that includes a porcelain pedestal and two composting chambers that are used on a rotational basis. This means that while one chamber is in use, the other is decomposing, ensuring a continuous cycle of composting.

If your family grows or your usage needs increase, the system can be easily expanded with the purchase of extra chambers. This flexibility allows you to customize the system to your specific needs, ensuring that it always functions at optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a composting toilet smell?

No — a properly installed Nature Loo is odourless. Continuous ventilation draws air down through the pedestal and out of the building, so the bathroom stays fresh at all times.

How often do I need to empty it?

Nature Loo is a batch system: when the chamber in use fills up — typically after a few months, depending on how many people use it — you simply swap it with the resting chamber. The full one then quietly composts down, so by the time you empty it the contents have already broken down into compost.

Do I need council consent in New Zealand?

Rules vary from council to council. Composting toilets are widely used for baches, rural homes and off-grid builds, but most councils treat them as part of your wastewater arrangements — so it pays to check locally. Ask us — we’re happy to advise on what your council typically requires.

Can I use it off-grid?

Yes. Nature Loo needs no water and no sewer connection, and ventilation options include low-power 12 V fans — so the system suits solar-powered and completely off-grid homes.

Which model should I choose?

It mostly comes down to how many people use the bathroom: Alectura Comfort suits 3–4 full-time users, Alectura Premium 4–5, and the self-contained NL3 up to 2. Tell us your household size in the enquiry form below and we’ll recommend the right fit.

What’s the difference between split and self-contained systems?

A split system has only the pedestal in the bathroom, with the composting chambers under the floor — ideal for new builds and homes with sub-floor space. A self-contained unit like the NL3 sits entirely on the bathroom floor, with no sub-floor needed — ideal for cabins, studios and tiny homes.

Not Sure Which Nature Loo™ Fits?

Tell us how many people use the bathroom and whether it’s a full-time home or a holiday bach — we’ll point you to the right model. No obligation.
