A farm and wildlife park near Ipswich has installed innovative toilets which require no water.

Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park in Wherstead has unveiled its new waterless toilets, which means that waste does not get flushed into the waterways so it doesn't create pollution.

The waterless toilet was designed in 1859 when Reverend Henry Moule demonstrated that dry earth mixed with human waste could produce clean compost in just a few weeks.

Now, Jimmy's Farm owner, Jimmy Doherty, decided he wanted to install the toilets as "healthy soil is crucial for carbon sequestration and biodiversity".

He added: "The impact we have on the environment shapes the way Jimmy's Farm moves forward; by installing these waterless toilets we can move closer to our green goals."

Jacob Andersen, owner of WooWoo Waterless Toilets, said: "Our mission is to transform public attitudes towards waterless toilets.

"The technology we have access to now is simply unparalleled and provides the same comfort and sanitation you’d expect of a water based system.

"Few people get excited about the toilet industry but these Kazuba units, as seen at Jimmy's, are causing quite a stir!"
