Hardy Sundberg, Sun-Mar founder, and father of two Sun-Mar partners,
developed an incinerating toilet for cottage use in Sweden.
It was good, but not environmentally friendly enough for Hardy, who
in 1971 went on to invent the first ever self-contained composting
toilet. This toilet was very successful and won a gold medal at
the International Inventor's Exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland.
In 1977, Hardy's second generation composting unit, the TROPIC, was
born. This toilet was still being produced in North America as late
as 1996.
The big performance breakthrough came
in 1979 with the arrival of the first three chamber Sun-Mar.
This unique North American design had three isolated chambers, so that
for the first time conditions for composting, for evaporation, and for
compost finishing could now be optimized. This dramatically increased
capacity, ease of operation, and the effectiveness of Sun-Mar units.
