How to be an Eco- Home Champion

The new era of eco-friendly homes is being transformed by a host of eco-friendly products that are empowering households to make a positive environmental impact on clean water, clean air and healthy soil. We will delve into the three innovative ways to make this growing desire a reality.

Waterless Toilets: Preserving Precious Water Resources

Traditional toilets have long been water hogs. Over the last decade, there has been an international community of innovators dedicated to ending this by re-inventing the toilet. The newest concepts of waterless toilets have the potential to become mainstream and lessen the burden on sewage treatment plants. Imagine a home where your toilets don’t consume gallons of water and operate efficiently without it.

Water Saving Statistics

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), traditional toilets can use about 1.6 gallons (or more) of water per flush. For instance, a family of four can save around 10,000 gallons of water annually by switching to a waterless toilet, one dry flush at a time.

Several countries like Australia, facing severe water shortages, have already embraced these technologies as a sustainable solution to their sanitation crisis. Beyond the traditional alternatives being used like composting toilets and incinerating toilets, which have been around for decades, new technologies have emerged.

A few revolutionary technologies now available include dry flush toilets, nano membrane toilets by Bill Gate’s Foundation, and thermophilic transformation toilets by AiraCorp. These new toilet alternatives are relatively new, having the potential to transform the everyday home into an eco-friendly palace.

Organic Air Purification Systems: Breathe Easy

The integration of plants into indoor spaces is a common feature of Biophilic Design, which at its core enhances the home environment with the essentials of nature. The addition of plants into a home not only creates a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere, but also improves indoor air quality. Now there's a breath of fresh air in the form of organic air purification systems. This innovation promises to take the quest for an organic indoor environment to a whole new level of eco-friendliness.

Improved Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) studies by organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have shown that poor IAQ can lead to various health issues, including respiratory problems and allergies. Organic air purification systems, by removing pollutants and allergens naturally, can significantly improve IAQ and reduce these health risks.

Organic air purification systems use nature's materials like plants and activated charcoal, to remove pollutants and enhance oxygen levels.

Recycling Food Waste: Turning Trash into Treasure

Recycling food waste is becoming very popular in the eco-conscious home because this diverts kitchen scraps from landfills, reducing methane emissions and lessening the burden on waste management infrastructure. Dehydrating and grinding up food waste is a step in the right direction, but we all know what real compost looks and feels like. What if we could turn this trash into treasure? Food waste recycling systems, such as composting and food digesters, do just that.

Composting involves the natural decomposition of organic matter into nutrient-rich soil by using microorganisms to break down waste into compostable material. Compost produced from food waste is a gardener's dream. It improves soil structure, enhances nutrient content, and boosts water retention, leading to healthier plant growth. Additionally, it reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers, contributing to a more sustainable agriculture industry.

The Synergy of Eco-Friendly Products and A Case for Eco-Friendly Homes

When combined, waterless toilets, organic air filtration systems, and food waste recycling create a synergistic effect that transforms homes into eco-friendly havens. This tri- approach addresses
multiple facets of sustainability, from water conservation and air quality to waste reduction and resource regeneration. When you adopt these eco-friendly solutions into your homes, it represents a crucial step towards a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future.

One Company that is helping you to adapt these solutions is AiraCorp. They have a trio of products that address clean air, clean water, and healthy soil.

• The Droilet™ is a waterless toilet that uses a new thermophilic technology to improve on the old composting toilet concept. It can even fit into a traditional toilet space without a lot of plumbing changes to deal with.
• The AiraFilter™ is an organic air purification system that uses forced air circulation throughout plant roots to greatly increase oxygen production. This also transforms air pollutants into nutrients which are used for plant growth.
• The Incuposter™ is a food-waste recycling system that is not only a hot composter but also a food digester, making it possible to create organic soil for your raised bed garden, patio garden or permaculture.

Customers love the fact that the Droilet™ and AiraFilter™ both enhance the atmosphere of a home by providing a sense of natural beauty while purifying the air around them. This is Biophilic design at it’s best.
