Ecosan Toilets
About 150 liters of wastewater at an average is
generated by an Indian individual daily, and a large amount of it is generated
from toilets. Ecological sanitation (EcoSan) is a sustainable system for
handling human excreta by using dry composting toilets. EcoSan toilets not only
reduce wastewater generation but also generate the natural fertiliser from
recycled human excreta, which forms an excellent substitute for chemical
fertilisers. This method is based on the principle of recovery and recycling of
nutrients from excreta to create a valuable supply for agriculture. ‘EcoSan’
toilets are being used in several parts of India and Sri Lanka.
