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 only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
