Alternatives to septic system? (self.offgrid)

I'm purchasing a property which will not perc for a conventional septic system. There are alternative septic systems that are possible, but also I'm wondering, what about an alternative system altogether? Does anyone have experience with handling greywater and waste separately (say composting for waste) in a home with several members?

There is the option of phytoepuration. The waste water goes through several ponds with different plants in it.

It's well developed in France but I don't know how possible it is in the US.
