What is a Composting Toilet?

A self-contained toilet that use the process of aerobic decomposition (composting) to break down feces into humus and odorless gases.

U.S. Department of Energy

Technically, a "composting toilet" is a toilet in which composting takes place. Usually, the composting chamber is located under the toilet. Other toilets are simply collection devices in which humanure is deposited, then removed to a separate composting location away from the toilet area. These toilets are components of "composting toilet systems," rather than composting toilets, per se.
