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:
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
