Our Story
The beginning…
Green Loo was founded seven years ago by Roland Schroeder, a true pioneer in the field of composting toilets and ‘humanure’. With over 30 years of off-grid living experience in Australia, Roland’s expertise extends far beyond book knowledge — it’s rooted in hands-on practice and a deep understanding of sustainable living.
During his extensive off-grid life, Roland observed a troubling trend within the composting toilet industry. Despite the apparent variety of websites, brands, and retailers, he discovered that this seeming diversity was largely illusory, with a single company at the core of it all. This monopolistic hold not only stifled innovation but also led to inflated prices and diminished customer service.
Determined to break this cycle, Green Loo was established to introduce genuine competition and expand choice in the Australian market. Our mission is to provide high-quality, sustainable composting toilets that are both affordable and accessible, empowering consumers to make informed choices without the constraints of a monopolized market.
During this time…
Inspired by environmentally conscious principles and guided by our commitment to corporate social responsibility, Green Loo has made ‘locally made’ its priority. This dedication has not only supported local communities but has also led Green Loo to become Australia’s largest composting toilet manufacturer.

3. Our customer service
We are a real business for real people. At Green Loo we understand that you, the customer, have a life too. As such, we will take calls and inquiries outside office hours. Sometimes you just can’t call during business hours, and we certainly understand that. Having just started your installation on a Saturday morning, you can’t wait until Monday to receive an answer to your question – after all, you have set aside the weekend to do this!
4. We don’t like monopolies
Before Green Loo started in Australia, when you did your research on composting toilets, you came across many different websites, brands and retailers. On closer inspection however, you would find that when you traced this variety to its source, there was largely only a single company that is at the heart of this seeming variety of choice. History proves that monopolies cause increased prices and decreased customer service. We are proud to have introduced competition and added choice to the Australian market for composting toilets!
5. Transparent pricing
Buying a composting toilet system can be confusing enough without ‘hiding’ necessary components as ‘optional extras’ – only to find out the system costs much more than you were initially led to believe. Here at green Loo we don’t advertise toilet pedestals without seats, systems without integral and advertised parts, or other gimmicks to lure you in. Apart from bulky vent and drainage pipe (which is easily available locally, and cheaper than sending it via transport), everything you need is included in the system.
6. Performance
Our systems are tested in either Australian conditions or even harsher, northern European environments (without heating). Our GT systems reached Australian Standards micro biologically tested, safe levels of E-Coli and Salmonella in just 1 month in cold Finland – and they perform even better here!
7. Experience
Green Loo's founder is a true expert in the field of composting toilets and 'humanure'. With over 30 years of living off-grid in Australia, they have gained invaluable hands-on experience and knowledge on the subject that goes beyond mere book learning. This extensive expertise and practical know-how is what sets Green Loo apart from the rest.
8. Honest Advice
We take pride in being able to advise you as to the best and most affordable solution to your needs. If there is a cheaper way to achieve what you need, we will let you know! If we don’t have the right product for your requirements (unlikely), we’ll let you know! And we won’t try to up-sell – up-selling is our pet hate!
