Our History

The Biolet Brand.

In 1972, Sture Andersson founded the original company in Sweden. His vision was to manufacture the most convenient waterless composting toilets in order to give customers a real alternative to regular flush toilets.

The first model was called MullToa meaning composting toilet in Swedish. The MullToa fast became a wide-spread toilet alternative in Scandinavia.

His idea to offer the best designed waterless composting toilet spread around the globe and by the mid 1980s MullToa and BioLet – its international brand name – were being patented and sold in over 30 countries.
