The composting toilet system rainwater collection and filtration are also installed in house capsule.
As commented by the developers: "the System consists of a poly-carbonate shell, with a frame of recycled aluminum. Insulation is made of several layers of aerogel, and polyurethane. On the edge of the bottom of the unit collect the rainwater, which then passes through a series of filters, getting into the tank, where it is additionally processed".
