About Us
Compo Closet Australia
We are proud to be the exclusive Australian distributor for Compo Closet, bringing innovative, waterless toilet solutions to adventurers across the country.
So how did we end up here?
Like many of our customers, we were searching for the perfect toilet solution for our own hybrid van. We needed something compact enough to fit into a tight space, simple to use, completely self-contained, and most importantly, something that freed us from relying on dump points.
That search led us to the Cuddy™, and instantly we knew we had found something different. It ticked every box and completely changed the way we thought about travelling off-grid.
What started as looking for one toilet for ourselves quickly turned into a much bigger opportunity.
Today, we proudly offer a growing range of toilets to the Australian market, and we’re incredibly excited about what the future holds. Our focus is not only on expanding and improving our toilet range, but also on helping our customers travel further, stay off-grid longer, and enjoy their adventures with greater comfort and confidence.
We believe this is only the beginning, and we’re excited to continue growing the Compo Closet range in Australia for years to come.
About Richard
After working a corporate job for 15 years, he decided it was time for a change. So, despite having recently finished renovating their house (really - they had just finished it!), Richard and his partner, Angela, decided to quit their jobs and drop everything to go traveling.
They rented out their newly renovated house and moved into a caravan on Richard's parent's driveway. #LifeGoals.
Meanwhile, they self-converted their van (Morrison) for a year on the road.
So why composting toilets?
Richard had never heard of composting toilets before he put one in his van. He quickly saw the practical benefits over a chemical toilet.
Chemical toilets need to be emptied every few days and they literally flush precious drinking water down the toilet. They frequently use chemicals that are bad for the environment, and the wastewater needs then to be “treated” continuing the unnecessary use of energy.
Despite seeing the advantages of composting toilets he couldn't help notice the problems with current designs.
- The poop compartment door was too small.
- Aiming for the pee section was also a creative task…..
- And honestly, they looked like the love child of R2D2 and a vacuum cleaner.
These niggles became a minor obsession. Richard would sketch toilets and research other amazing composting endeavours around the world. He would talk to anyone they met about them (well, everybody poops!) and how great they are but how he couldn't help but see improvements.
And so was born CompoCloset
