Technology

At Sun-Mar™ New Zealand, we know that the best way to garner environmental benefits from composting toilets is by making composting easy for our customers.

We understand that composting toilets must excel in three distinct processes: rapid and odourless composting, safe and easy handling of the finished compost, and efficient liquid management. This is why our systems are engineered to achieve these goals to perfection.

At the heart of Sun-Mar™ success is our unique Three-Chamber System design, consisting of the Bio-drum™, a Finishing Drawer, and an Evaporation Chamber. By staging the composting process, this extraordinary design creates the ideal composting environment at every stage.

The Bio-drum™ combines warmth, moisture, organic material, and oxygen to facilitate swift and efficient breakdown of waste by aerobic microbes. Excess liquid is automatically drained through a specialized screen into the Evaporation Chamber, ensuring optimal composting speeds. The rotating Bio-drum™ ensures even mixing and oxygenation throughout the compost pile – this thorough aeration is key to odourless, rapid waste decomposition. Once the compost has matured in the Finishing Tray, it is ready for reintegration into the environment.

Sun-Mar™ systems come in both self-contained (on-floor) and split-system designs, making sure there is a toilet for every application – whether it be an RV, a tiny home, a residential house or a bigger commercial operation.

Thanks to our state-of-the-art technologies, Sun-Mar™ is recognized as a leader in composting toilets, and holds a reputation for quality, reliability, and sustainability. Our systems are used by homeowners, businesses, and organizations around the world, who appreciate our commitment to creating a healthier planet.

History

1971

In 1971, Hardy Sundberg, the visionary founder of Sun-Mar™, broke ground on a revolutionary idea: a self-contained composting toilet. It was a game-changer in the industry, allowing for composting toilets to become more compact and permitting on-floor installation without the requirement of sub-floor space. The possibilities were endless and the impact was huge.

1979

In 1979, Sun-Mar™ upped the ante again with their new, patented design of the Three -Chamber composting system with the rotating Bio-drum™ for composting, a chamber for evaporating liquids, and a separate chamber for compost finishing. These three compartments allowed the system to create optimal environments for each function.

Split Systems

Sun-Mar’s™ Split Systems are the ultimate choice for those who value self-sufficiency and independence in off-grid living. Designed to handle high-use, these systems feature Sun-Mar’s™ innovative Three-Chamber design to optimize composting and keep maintenance low. Whether you’re establishing an off-grid haven, a remote survival shelter, or simply prefer an eco-friendly approach to waste management, Sun-Mar’s™ Split Systems are the ideal choice.

Combining practicality with style, our split system setup sees a lovely pedestal sit in your bathroom, while the composting chamber is tucked discreetly beneath the floor. This ingenious design provides an excellent look, a comfortable toileting experience, and an effective, uninterrupted composting cycle. Plus, these are the only systems on the market available with a micro-flush option – perfect for sites where water availability is not an issue, micro-flush allows you to place the composting chamber away from the bathroom and gives you more flexibility in your design.
