The lavatory is a very important part of our lives, as we use it several times a day. So it should come as no surprise that a great deal of attention is given to technologies that make lavatories and toilets clean and comfortable. Recent years have seen the appearance of antibacterial toilet seats and toilets that consume very little water. In campgrounds, parks, mountain cottages, and other places without sewerage systems, composting toilets are coming into use. Microorganisms that decompose human waste are naturally found in the waste itself, and these toilets use sawdust to promote the decomposition process. The resulting compost can then be used as organic fertilizer.

Toilets could become even more high-tech in the years to come, as various companies have been coming up with innovative ideas for future toilets. As we have seen, the technologies used in toilets not only make our lives more comfortable and convenient but are also coming to play an important part in conserving the environment and maintaining our health.
