# Wasted* PBC

> Wasted* PBC is a Vermont public benefit corporation reinventing the humble porta-potty. Its waterless, chemical-free, solar-ventilated toilets separate and collect human waste on-site, then a Vermont R&D team recovers the nutrients and turns them into WeeBloom, a commercially registered struvite fertilizer sold to farms and gardeners. Grown out of the nonprofit Do Good Sh*t, Wasted* is building a circular economy for something everyone would rather not think about - closing the loop from toilet to topsoil.
