Five Ways LIXIL is Making a Difference on World Toilet Day 2018
LIXIL, maker of pioneering water and housing products, has its sights firmly set on improving global access to basic sanitation. To mark World Toilet Day, the company today announced five new initiatives to help tackle the global sanitation crisis – all while helping to develop the future sanitation economy.

From its revolutionary shower toilets to its “breathing” wall tiles that help control allergens, LIXIL has always focused on innovations that solve real consumer needs. But the company’s attention today isn’t solely on existing consumers; it believes that creating solutions for the 2.3 billion people that still don’t have access to basic sanitation is an opportunity to solve one of the world’s greatest social challenges, and to do so sustainably by helping to develop a future market.

GTS safely processes human waste without using water, enabling it to be recycled as fertilizer.
