Potties with Purpose
Our mission is to catalyze the global transition to circular sanitation and change the way people think about waste.
Better for the long-haul:
Circular Economy
Wasted* has developed the technology to extract the nutrients from human waste, creating regenerative fertilizer supply chains while simultaneously reducing the impact on wastewater treatment infrastructure.
HOW URINE MINING WORKS
First, we save customers money. Then, we turn pee into fertilizer.
The Can saves customers money from day one by reducing the volume that must be pumped and hauled. Refining begins when local urine volume supports it.

DEPLOY THE CANS
Waterless toilets. Fewer truck trips. Lower operating cost.

reach critical density
~20 Cans generate ~1,400 gallons of urine per week.

turn on the refinery
A *notwasted refinery turns separated urine into fertilizer. We are currently turning urine into fertilizer in: VT & MA.
Sustainable Operations
Beyond turning pee into fertilizers, Wasted* is committed to sustainability at every touchpoint of operations:
Wasted*Wipes: Using toilet paper made 100% from bamboo is just another step we take to reduce our impact on the environment. Click to buy now.
Route Optimization: We use the latest software and operations strategies to ensure that we reduce the time our trucks and toilets are on the road.
People First: You can’t provide a good service without taking care of your employees first. Here at Wasted* all of our employees are paid a living wage.
Better building starts on the jobsite.
Wasted* is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council®, supporting a future where the built environment conserves water, recovers valuable resources, and takes better care of the people doing the building.
We’re putting that commitment to work through the Wasted*Can: waterless jobsite sanitation designed to reduce waste volume, cut waste-hauling trips, and give crews a better bathroom experience. Through urine mining, we collect pee separately so its nutrients can be recovered and returned to productive use as fertilizer. Our goal is to make circular sanitation a practical choice for construction teams—with benefits that extend from the jobsite to the soil.
