Description

La Tinette Stéphanoise is rethinking urban sanitation in Saint-Étienne.

This nonprofit promotes a growing network of dry toilets, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional water-intensive systems.

By increasing the number of collection points (voluntary drop-off) in the heart of the city, it simplifies logistics for residents eager to change their habits. The collected materials are then locally converted into agricultural compost.

This is a concrete circular economy initiative that transforms our waste into valuable resources while preserving drinking water.

Mission

think collectively, disseminate, experiment, support, and deploy human waste recovery systems that are low-impact, circular, and local to preserve the environment and combat the waste of water and resources; raise awareness and advocate for ecological sanitation solutions as a tool for the ecological transition toward sustainable lifestyles in line with planetary boundaries

Helping every household take the plunge

To help individuals take this step, Clarisse launched La Tinette Stéphanoise, an association dedicated to promoting dry toilets. "We try to support individuals, raise their awareness, and help them install dry toilets to replace water-flush toilets," she explains. The goal is to understand everyone’s habits and tailor solutions to their needs, providing a customized solution for each household.
