No. In Switzerland, used cat litter goes in the household trash, including plant-based litter like TOFU. The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) explicitly prohibits disposing of it via wastewater. At the waste incineration plant, TOFU burns almost completely and leaves no slag.

TOFU litter
Dust-free
Dust-free
Your cat digs with its nose just above the litter, and you lean right over it when you top up. TOFU cat litter is 99.9% dust-free, so the air stays clear. That matters most for cats with feline asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions, and for cats that have trouble breathing when the litter is changed or when they use the box. In those cases, vets recommend cutting down on dust as a possible irritant as much as you can. A very low-dust litter like TOFU is ideal for that.

FAQ
TOFU cat litter is 99.9% dust-free because the pellets go through a six-stage cleaning process during production. That's why barely any dust rises when you pour it or when your cat digs. For cats with feline asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions, and for cats that have trouble breathing when the litter is changed or when they use the box, vets recommend reducing dust as a possible inhaled irritant as much as possible. For these cats, TOFU is ideal as a particularly low-dust litter. More about dust-free cat litter
Bioactive enzymes in TOFU cat litter break down the compounds that cause urine odor instead of masking it with fragrance. For poop, the best thing you can do is scoop the box every day.
Exactly! The litter forms solid, easily removable clumps that do not break apart during cleaning. This saves you time when cleaning and keeps the litter box fresh for longer. It clumps reliably but does not stick to the bottom or sides of the litter box. This allows you to clean the litter box quickly and easily without tedious scrubbing.
Small amounts are harmless. TOFU cat litter is made from pea and soy fibers, corn starch, corn flour and guar gum. If your cat eats litter regularly, talk to your vet, since there may be another need behind it.
On the contrary: the fragrance used is non-toxic, safe, and specially developed for use even in sensitive environments. We know that cats have a very keen sense of smell. That's why we deliberately use only a minimal amount of fragrance - just enough to create a pleasant, fresh scent for us humans, but one that doesn't disturb your cat and instead helps it relax.
Our TOFU cat litter in the “Lavender” variant gets its gentle scent from a high-quality fragrance composition by Givaudan - a world-leading manufacturer of fine fragrances from Switzerland. This fragrance is food-grade, meaning it is absolutely safe - for you and your cat. The fragrance is evenly incorporated into the material during production – not just as a surface coating. This creates a pleasantly subtle and fresh scent that reduces unwanted odors without overwhelming your cat's sensitive nose.
The easiest way to make the switch is to gradually accustom your cat to the new litter. Start by mixing some TOFU cat litter in with the old litter and gradually increase the amount. This will allow your cat to get used to the new texture and smell without any stress, and the transition will go smoothly.

For one cat with a standard-size litter box, plan on about 2 bags (12 liters) a month: one to fill the box and one to top it up after daily scooping. After about 4 weeks, replace everything. More cats or large boxes like STEELOO need more. With a subscription, 4 bags every 2 months cover one cat.
Bentonite is a clay mineral, while TOFU cat litter is made from plant fibers. Both clump, but TOFU clumps hold together better when you lift them out. Bentonite clumps crumble more easily on the scoop. A 6-liter bag of TOFU weighs 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), about half as much as the same amount of clay litter. At the waste incineration plant, TOFU burns almost completely, while bentonite is left behind as slag. Bentonite also tends to be much dustier when you pour it.
