What Wostman does

Wostman Ecology AB is a privately-held Swedish manufacturer of ultra-low-flush eco-toilets, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Saltsjö-Boo, Sweden. The company designs and sells three core product lines under proprietary porcelain hardware: the EcoVac vacuum toilet using a patented EXTEND motor to achieve 0.6L flushes (up to 95% water savings versus conventional toilets), the EcoFlush dual-flush urine-separating toilet averaging under 1L per flush (80% water savings), and the EcoDry porcelain dry toilet for off-grid and vacation home use requiring no drainage, water, or electricity. The EcoFlush line has accumulated over 10,000 installed customers in Sweden over the company's 30+ year operating history.

The business model is direct-to-consumer hardware sales through a Swedish dealer network (återförsäljare), supported by a company website with a dealer-locator function and downloadable product documentation. Product prices range from SEK 6,415 for EcoDry to over SEK 26,290 for EcoVac, with add-on modules such as the EcoDry BOX collection unit and the Jafostos urine-diversion system. Customer segments are residential and SMB: villas outside the municipal water/sewage (VA) network, summer cottages, water-conserving households, and properties with private septic tanks. The company has no disclosed headcount, no external funding, and no parent company.

Go-to-market is channel-partner-led domestically, supplemented by content marketing (website, brochures, customer cases) and direct purchase via the company site. International expansion is nascent: a single distribution partnership with Scandinavian Water Saving Products covers South Africa, and a supply partnership with Cipax provides tanks for the EcoVac system. The company operates as an independent private limited company (Wostman Ecology AB) with no public listing, no app or API products, and no AI/ML capabilities evidenced in the available data.
