Lindström built a single chamber concrete tank, with sloped bottom and chimney, for disposal of kitchen and toilet waste. A chimney is a system for venting hot Flue gases or Smoke from a Boiler, Stove, Furnace or Fireplace to the outside It functioned for several decades and was eventually patented in 1962. In 1964, the first commercial model was constructed out of fiberglass. Fiberglass (also called fibreglass and glass fibre see Spelling differences) is material made from extremely fine Fibers of Glass. It was largely without commercial success due to difficulties with aligning kitchen, toilet and the relatively large composting tank.
In the 1970s, Abby Rockefeller, in the United States, read about the idea and wanted to buy a system, but was told they were not for sale due to lack of technical support. In 1973, Rockefeller founded Clivus Multrum, Inc. in Massachusetts under license from Lindström to market its composting toilet and greywater irrigation systems[2]. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts ( is a state located in the New England region of the northeastern United States.
Branding
The brand of Clivus Multrum composting toilets is marketed globally [3]. Also, a company exists in Sweden which is linked to the Lindström family and continues to market these systems in Europe but not under the Clivus Multrum name[4].
