Ecological Sanitation - Technologies of Ecosan Systems

Technologies of Ecosan Systems

Determining ecosan systems as ecological sanitation is not easy, for it is not just one specific technology, but a new approach based on an ecosystem-oriented view of material flows.

The following diagram gives an overview of the different collection, treatment and reuse possibilities of the five flow streams considered in ecological sanitation systems:

Further information on ecosan technologies can be found in "Ecological Sanitation" by Winblad et al., in "Toilets that make compost" by Peter Morgan or in the gtz-ecosan technical data sheets, among other relevant literature.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:

    The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
