Our Mission
WCTNZ® exists to help change how New Zealand thinks about wastewater — from waste, dilution and disposal, toward smarter water use, source separation, resource recovery and practical onsite systems that people can actually live with.
We support people, projects, communities, designers, builders, councils and landowners who are ready to ask better questions about wastewater, water use and sanitation design.
Mission statement
Our mission is to make composting toilets, greywater systems and alternative wastewater pathways easier to understand, easier to choose, and more successful in real New Zealand projects.
A better way to think about wastewater
WCTNZ® is working toward a future where wastewater is not treated as an afterthought, where clean water is not used unnecessarily to move waste, where greywater is understood as a serious design question, and where composting toilets are seen as practical, hygienic, modern wastewater systems rather than a last-resort option.
We are not trying to force one answer onto every project. We are trying to make better pathways possible for the people and projects that are ready for them.
That means providing good products, clear information, practical support, and stronger system pathways so customers can move from uncertainty to a solution that actually fits their site and use.
We believe better wastewater choices can change more than one site at a time.
When people see these systems working well, the perception changes. A composting toilet is no longer a strange compromise. Greywater is no longer an afterthought. Waterless sanitation becomes a serious option. That shift in thinking is part of the change WCTNZ® is working toward.
Wastewater should be thought about earlier and more carefully
Wastewater systems are often treated as something to hide, pipe away, dilute or leave until late in the project. WCTNZ® believes they should be considered much earlier and with more care.
A composting toilet, greywater system, pump station or toilet building is not just a product purchase. It affects the building, the site, the users, the water supply, the maintenance pathway, the infrastructure cost and the long-term operation of the project.
When the right system is chosen for the right situation, alternative wastewater technology can be practical, reliable, low-water and suitable for a wide range of New Zealand settings.
Our principles are practical
Water should be used with care
High-quality water should not be wasted unnecessarily. Waterless and low-water sanitation can make sense where the site, system and user expectations are properly matched.
Wastewater systems should suit the site
There is no single system that suits every home, bach, tiny house, commercial project or public facility. The pathway must match the project.
Composting toilets should be properly understood
Composting toilets are not a compromise when selected, installed, ventilated and operated correctly. They can be a serious, practical design choice.
Greywater deserves proper attention
Greywater is often the main wastewater stream left to solve when a project reduces or removes blackwater. It should not be treated as an afterthought.
Waste can be thought about differently
In the right system, what is usually treated only as waste can become part of a more thoughtful resource pathway, rather than something simply diluted and sent away.
Good systems need support
A wastewater system does not end at purchase. Customers need good information, correct setup, consumables, parts and support pathways.
We support people and projects ready for better pathways
WCTNZ® is here for people who are actively seeking better wastewater options. That may be a homeowner planning a new build, a family with a bach, a tiny house builder, a rural landowner, a commercial site, a campground, a public facility or a community project.
Some customers come to us because they want to save water. Some want to avoid unnecessary infrastructure. Some need a practical off-grid solution. Some are working through council, site or consent questions. Others simply want a system that makes more sense for the way they live or the land they are working with.
Homes, baches, cabins, tiny houses and rural properties
Off-grid, low-water and infrastructure-limited sites
Commercial, accommodation, public-use and community projects
Customers seeking composting toilets, greywater systems, pump stations, toilet buildings or full system packages
We are here for the people who are ready to ask better questions about wastewater — and who want practical answers that work in the real world.
We make alternative wastewater easier to choose and use
WCTNZ® contributes by combining product range, practical guidance, education, support and ongoing knowledge development. We help customers move from uncertainty to a clearer system pathway.
This means helping people understand the difference between product types, the importance of ventilation, capacity and usage, the role of greywater, the need for servicing access and the wider pathway needed for a successful project.

What we are working toward
WCTNZ® is not trying to force one answer onto every project. Our goal is to help more people, designers, builders, landowners, councils and communities understand when alternative wastewater systems make sense — and how to choose them properly when they do.
Change the perception of composting toilets by replacing confusion, myths and outdated assumptions with practical information and real project guidance.
Reduce unnecessary use of clean water for waste transport by helping projects choose waterless or low-water pathways where they make sense.
Promote source separation and better wastewater logic so toilet waste, greywater, stormwater and water supply are not all treated as the same design problem.
Turn waste thinking into resource thinking where systems can safely and practically support better nutrient, water and organic matter pathways.
Develop stronger system packages that bring toilets, greywater, drainage, ventilation, consumables, spare parts and support into clearer project pathways.
Raise the professional standard for alternative wastewater systems in New Zealand by supporting better product knowledge, better documentation and better long-term operation.
The goal is practical change: better information, better system matching, better support and better wastewater outcomes for the people and projects that are ready to choose a different pathway.
A New Zealand shift toward better water and resource thinking
WCTNZ® sits alongside a wider New Zealand movement toward better water stewardship, better resource use, more resilient onsite infrastructure and practical environmental responsibility.
We do not claim that every project needs a composting toilet or greywater system. But where the site, people and project goals support it, these systems can provide a serious alternative to conventional assumptions about wastewater.
Our role is to make those alternatives easier to understand, easier to choose and more successful once installed.
Our position is practical: better wastewater choices should be understandable, maintainable, supported and suited to the project. That is how real change becomes usable.
More confident customers, better-matched systems and fewer failed assumptions
Success for WCTNZ® is not just selling a product. Success is a customer who understands why a system suits their project, how it should be installed, what it needs to operate well and where to go for support.
It is a tiny house owner with a suitable toilet and greywater pathway. It is a bach owner who saves water and understands maintenance. It is a public site with a system sized and managed for real use. It is a rural project that avoids unnecessary infrastructure where a better pathway exists.
That is the mission in practical terms: better information, better system matching, better support and better long-term outcomes.
Ready to choose a better wastewater pathway?
If you are planning a composting toilet, greywater system, pump station, toilet building or wider wastewater package, WCTNZ® can help you identify the most suitable starting point.
