24 Jan Indian Company Bootes And Swedish Company Ecoloo Group Launch Net Zero Solution To Save 97% Of Annual Water Wastage, Resulting In Significant Tax Savings Annually
- An average Indian family in Delhi NCR flushes 4.3 million tons of water annually, resulting in significant fiscal wastage.
- Install ‘S.A.F.E (Sustainable, Affordable, Feasible, and Efficient) Toilets’ that use ~200 ml of water for flushing.
- BOOTES and ECOLOO Group’s Patented Water-Saving Solution to Scale Up Through Collaborations, Driving India Towards its Aatmanirbhar Vision.
New Delhi (India), January 24: Water scarcity is a pressing issue across India, affecting millions of people and posing a significant threat to the country’s agricultural, industrial, and domestic sectors. The main contributing factors to water scarcity in India include using traditional toilet systems that consumer 6.5 litres of water per flush cycle, over-extraction of groundwater, pollution of water sources, inefficient water management, and the impacts of climate change. In Delhi NCR alone, it estimated that households collectively waste 4.3 million tons of water annually, which amounts to significant fiscal wastage. This huge amount of water wastage not only has a significant financial impact, but also exacerbates the already dire water scarcity situation in the region.
Addressing water scarcity in India requires a multi-faceted approach that includes sustainable management of water resources, improved infrastructure, and policies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Failure to take prompt and effective action to address water scarcity will have severe consequences for the country’s economy, public health, and food security.
One potential solution to this crisis lies in the implementation of sustainable toilets. While there are sustainable toilet solutions available today, most of these are standalone installations. To create a far reaching impact, water infrastructure needs to be transformed at a broader community, city, state and country wide level. This can be made possible only with easy to implement, affordable, flexible and efficient solutions that can be installed via regional level partnerships.
To create a scalable solution to India’s pressing Water Issues, India’s first Net-Zero Construction Tech Company- BOOTES has partnered with Sweden-based ECOLOO Group to launch the most efficient toilet in the world called – ‘S.A.F.E (Sustainable, Affordable, Feasible and Efficient) Toilets’.

While the concept of ‘Bio Toilets’ has been experimented with in the past, there has been no comprehensive sanitation solution that focusses on all aspects of water preservation, energy savings, chemical free sewage treatments that not only helps save 97% of daily water consumption by utilising only 200 ml of water for flushing but also uses safe bacteria to produce an end product that is a nutritious fertilizer perfect for agriculture. This circular solution can be easily retrofitted to replace traditional toilets at low costs and is suited for both residential and commercial purposes. The S.A.F.E toilet is a self-contained, decentralized toilet system. Designed for easy installation, use, and maintenance, these toilets are odour-free, eliminate the need for direct contact with waste, and do not require a septic or sewage treatment plant for installation. Unlike traditional toilets that use up to 6.5 litres of water per cycle, this system only needs 200 ml for washing and cleaning, and does not require water for flushing. These toilets are ergonomically designed, minimize energy consumption, and can be operated using renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. In addition to being an affordable option, they also greatly reduce the cost of waste handling, STP and transportation.
The hardware toilet system is patented and is a unique offering that can be implemented on a wide scale through long-term partnerships, supporting the Honourable Prime Minister’s vision of making India Aatmanirbhar. BOOTES and ECOLOO Group have also been awarded the patent for the toilet cover with automatic opening and closing so the user does not see their own waste, making the toilet solution far more aesthetically and hygienically advanced. Furthermore, the sewage technology is an innovative solution as it flushes portable drinking water and also converts the waste from toilets using the nitrification process into a natural fertilizer rich in nutrients and safe for agricultural use.
