Bill Gates has been trying to reinvent the toilet for 11 years now. He launched one of those initiatives where his foundation gives money to companies to make something new. Samsung, the people who made the phone I against my face every day, appear to have the best idea for a new toilet. Their new type of toilet uses heat treatment and bioprocessing to make human waste safe for the environment. I don’t know what “bioprocessing” means when it comes to toilets, but I do know that Japan has awesome home toilets. They are high efficiency, smaller than ours, have a built in bidet, and even a sink built in on top of the tank. Jenny loved them when we visited and raved about them for a while after.
Let’s not forget that there are also Smart Toilets that you can control with your phone. They come with options like warmed seats, bidet sprays with 4 temperature settings, front and back bidet sprays, built in automatic deodorizer, LED light panels, automatic lid open and closing systems, and I could go on and on.
