Separett Uno is a simple solution when a full bathroom isn’t available

There are many situations where a traditional bathroom simply isn’t practical. Whether it’s getting through the night without leaving your cabin, preparing for emergencies, or setting up a temporary solution while camping, having a reliable and hygienic toilet option can make a significant difference.

Separett Uno is designed exactly for these moments. It is a compact, non urine-diverting waterless toilet that focuses on simplicity, portability, and dependable everyday use when needed. With no installation required and a clean, minimal design, Uno offers a practical solution for a wide range of environments.

Designed for flexibility and real-life use

Separett Uno is not meant to replace a fully installed system. Instead, it fills the gap where flexibility and accessibility matter most.

It works well as a night-time toilet, allowing you to avoid going outside in the dark or cold. In cabins without indoor plumbing, it provides a convenient indoor option. For guest spaces, it offers a discreet backup solution without requiring permanent installation.

Uno is also well suited for occasional use scenarios. This could be in a van, a workshop, or during temporary stays where installing a full system is unnecessary or impractical.

Because it is fully portable, it can be placed wherever needed. Simply insert a bag, attach the seat ring, and it is ready to use.

A practical choice for emergency preparedness

In emergency situations, access to sanitation can quickly become a challenge. Power outages, natural disasters, or infrastructure failures can make standard toilets unusable.

Separett Uno provides a reliable backup solution that requires no water, electricity, or installation. This makes it suitable for emergency kits, preparedness storage, or even bunker environments where independence from external systems is essential.

Its fail-proof design ensures that it can be used immediately when needed, without setup complexity or maintenance concerns.

When a more contemporary design and greater capacity are needed, we recommend the Separett Weekend Prime. It can be mounted to the floor or wall, and its capacity can be extended with additional containers for both liquid and solid waste.

Camping, outdoor use, and privacy solutions

For camping and outdoor activities, Uno offers a simple and hygienic alternative to improvised solutions.

It can be used together with a privacy tent, which are widely available through camping stores and online. This creates a comfortable and discreet setup almost anywhere, whether in the forest, at a campsite, or during overland travel.

The combination of portability and ease of use makes it especially practical for:

  • Camping trips
  • Overlanding and van life
  • Temporary outdoor setups
  • Remote locations without facilities

Because it does not require installation, it can be packed, transported, and deployed quickly.

Bulking material – small to carry, big in function

Since Separett Uno does not separate liquids and solids, the use of a bulking material is essential.

A bulgking material such as coco coir reduce odors, and create a more manageable waste environment. It also supports the composting process later on and it is easy to transport in compressed form and expands significantly when water is added. A compact block measuring approximately 8 × 4 × 2 inches can expand into about 2.5 gallons of usable material.

This makes it ideal for travel and storage, as it takes up minimal space before use while providing sufficient volume when needed.

Understanding odor and usage

Because Uno is a non-ventilated and non-separating system, some odor is natural. However, this can be noticeably reduced by using the right amount of bulking material.

The goal is to keep the waste dry and covered after each use. This improves hygiene, reduces smell, and makes handling easier when it is time to empty the container.

Simple handling and maintenance

Separett Uno is built around straightforward use.

When the container is full, the process is simple:

  • Remove the compostable bag
  • Seal it properly
  • Replace it with a new bag

There are no mechanical parts, no agitators, and no systems that require adjustment. This reduces the risk of failure and keeps cleaning and maintenance to a minimum.

Effective composting requires more volume and higher temperatures than a compact unit like this can provide. Removing moving parts also improves hygiene and reliability.

Waste handling and composting considerations

Waste collected in Separett Uno is not composted inside the unit. After removal, it should be disposed of or handled according to proper composting practices.

Human waste should be composted for at least 6 months, and preferably 12 months, to ensure pathogens are eliminated. Combining toilet waste with garden waste and kitchen scraps can help improve the composting process.

A practical guideline is to plan for about 30 gallons per user. Using two containers allows one to rest while the other is in active use.

It is important to use a sealed composting bin or container with proper ventilation and protection against rain, insects, and rodents.

A compact and reliable everyday backup

Separett Uno combines portability with simplicity. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and designed to work without complications.

Key features include:

  • Compact 9.5 gallon container
  • Airtight lid for secure handling
  • Click-on seat ring with hinged lid
  • A roll of Compostable bags included
  • Lightweight construction at just over 3.5 lbs
  • No installation required

It cannot be fixed to the floor, so in situations where additional support is needed, a floor-standing or wall-mounted support can be considered.

When simplicity matters most

Separett Uno is not about complexity or advanced systems. It is about having a dependable solution when you need one.

Whether it is placed next to your bed for night-time use, kept as a backup for emergencies, used in a cabin, or brought along on a camping trip, Uno provides comfort and functionality in situations where traditional solutions fall short.

It is a straightforward approach to sanitation, built for flexibility, mobility, and real-world use.
