Video on Composting Toilet at a playground in Freiburg, Germany

These are the Vimeo links to a film by Christoph Nick, shot in 2008, about the Clivius Multrum Composting Toilet (with urine diversion) in Freiburg, Germany on a children's adventure playground.
We tried to keep it educational as to make it easier for others to copy at their own site.
Here are the links:

Enjoy,
Andrea

Thanks for posting the link to this video, Andrea. It is a nice little video, and even though it is already five years old, it is still very nice to watch (actually, it already has historical value!
).
A few things that I noticed:
(when I lived in Brisbane, Australia, I admired their public toilets at playgrounds and beaches; they somehow managed to keep them clean and well maintained, in general - a real achievement for the local councils, I think).

A few things that I noticed:
- Looks like a lovely adventure playground! All adventure playgrouns should have a toilet like this... (?) I guess the key factor was that it wasn't connected to a sewer system so this gave the chance for something innovative.
- The ramp for wheelchair users is too steep, or at least they can't get up that ramp on their own.
- I wonder how well the urine evaporation system works and if that causes any odours or any leakage/accumulation when there is more urine than what can evaporate.
- I wonder how it went when they emptied the faeces chamber for the first time.
- Nice to see our friend Arne Panesar in this video (an ecosan promoter from the first hour.
). I asked Arne if the toilet is still functional and he said he would take a look, as it is very close to his house.
