How does the OGO Nomad work?
The secret is in the separation. The NOMAD uses OGO’s patented urine diversion system to keep liquids and solids separate. This is the most effective way to reduce odour—far more than chemicals or flushing.
Here’s how it works:
-
Liquids are directed into a front bottle
-
Solids fall into a compostable bag secured in the back of the bin.
-
No mixing = no sewage smell
The Nomad use the layering method (compost medium → waste → more medium), odour stays minimal, and cleanup stays easy. Read More About Layering.
