FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT LONDON

Loowatt Selected as an Exhibitor for the Reinvent the Toilet Fair: India
Fair to Showcase Advancements that Improve Sanitation and Health

LONDON, UK LOOWATT LTD. announced today that they will be an exhibitor at the Reinvent
the Toilet Fair: India event which will be co-hosted by the Government of Indias Department of
Biotechnology and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in March 2014. Loowatt Ltd. will
showcase energy-generating waterless toilet technology that aims to help bring sanitation to
those who need it most. The fair is also supported by the Indian Ministry of Urban Development.
The Reinvent the Toilet Fair: India aims to stimulate discussion and spur partnerships to
improve global sanitation and bring affordable sanitation solutions to people who need it most.
The fair is also an opportunity to recognize Indias leadership and commitment to improving
child health and fostering innovative solutions to persistent development challenges.
Loowatt Ltd.s project is one of approximately 50 exhibits
that will be on display during the two-day fair. Loowatts
waterless toilet system harnesses value from human waste
by producing energy and fertilizer. The patented toilet
packages human waste in a biodegradable lining material,
which is then transported to an anaerobic digester for
energy generation. The toilet on display at the fair is the
new Loowatt Tsiky Toilet, which is stylish, lightweight and
highly customizable. With easy transport and simple
installation, the durable Tsiky Toilet is suitable for densely
populated urban areas. This particular toilet is customized
with an electric button flush and a white outer shell.


In addition, Loowatt is
introducing the new Loowatt
Event System, a mobile system
designed primarily for festivals
and events. The environmentally
friendly system provides off grid
toilets and human-wastederived energy with rapid setup
and removal. The Loowatt Event
System will be unveiled in
summer 2014 in the UK. This
project is accomplished with
support from the UKs
Technology Strategy Board.

Of the 1.1 billion people who defecate in the open, almost 60 percent are Indian, said
Professor K. VijayRaghavan, secretary of the Indian Department of Biotechnology. Sanitation
solutions using the latest technology need not be complex or driven by expensive gadgetry, but
they need to be innovative and address the many aspects of this multifaceted problem.
Today, because of a lack of toilets and poorly functioning infrastructure, massive amounts of
untreated waste winds up in the environment, spreading disease, said Brian Arbogast, director
of the Water, Sanitation & Hygiene team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We are
privileged to host the Reinvent the Toilet Fair: India with our partners to advance conversations
about sanitation it is a testament to the Indian governments commitment to improving how
we deal with this pressing problem.
Note: attendance at the fair is by invitation only. No further invitations will be extended.
