Urine Diversion + Peecycling

Pee-cycling is an affordable and sustainable solution to manage human waste nutrients and keep them out of sensitive ecosystems. This urine-diversion method keeps nitrogen and phosphorus from entering wastewater and saves vast amounts of precious drinking water.

How do I start peecycling?

Peecycling is simpler than you might think. To start, you need a container to collect your household’s urine, and a fixture to make it easier to collect.

The Green Center has developed a prototype waterless urinal that promises to revolutionize pee-cycling with its seamless, in-wall design. Get to know the P-Pod!
