Massimo(@Rainmaker1973):Incinerator toilet in Antarctica due to limited plumbing and water. Instead of flushing with water, these units use high temperatures (around 1000°C) powered by electricity or gas to burn waste completely. The high-heat burn cycle reduces solid waste down to a small amount of sterile, odorless ash that only needs to be emptied every few weeks. [📹 fifoeu]
