=== Vermifilter toilet ===
A [[vermifilter toilet]] is a composting toilet with flushing water where [[earthworm]]s are used to promote decomposition to compost. It can be connected to a [[Low-flush toilet|low-flush]] or a micro-flush toilet which uses about {{convert|500|ml|USoz}} per use. Solids accumulate on the surface of the filter bed while liquid drains through the filter medium and is discharged from the reactor. The solids (feces and toilet paper) are aerobically digested by aerobic bacteria and [[Vermicompost#Suitable worm species|composting earthworms]] into castings (humus), thereby significantly reducing the volume of organic material.<ref name="Furlong2015">C.
