Samsung makes a toilet that doesn’t need water to work. Human waste can be turned into ashes by the toilet. It is called an “energy-efficient toilet,” and you don’t have to use any water with it.

This makes it perfect for use in remote areas, where nitrogen and small amounts of pollution from human waste can be harmful to both the environment and the people who come into contact with it.

The toilet is made for the “Reinvent the Toilet Challenge.” The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation began the campaign in 2011. The goal of the campaign is to change the way toilets work.

This is so that billions of people can get rid of their waste in a safe and effective way. People all over the world could be using toilets that aren’t safe.

The main goal is to help improve sanitation facilities around the world that aren’t good enough.
