Doing your business
Entrepreneurs around the globe are finding new ways to blend technology and good business practices to build sustainable sanitation solutions.
Loo Cafes
Loo Cafes in India cover the costs for installing and maintaining thousands of fully sanitized, high-tech bathrooms (and producing added revenue) by selling food and drinks and through advertisements—while offering public toilets free of charge.
Sanergy
Sanergy in Kenya delivers locally built, cost-effective dry toilets where they are needed most. The waste is collected and transported to a treatment facility, where it is consumed by black soldier fly larvae and converted to organic fertilizer and animal feed for local farmers.
Loowatt
Loowatt toilets, currently in use in the UK, Madagascar, and the Philippines, seal waste in a biodegradable film to contain odors and bacteria. The waste is regularly collected and delivered to digestors, which convert it into biosolids for fertilizer and biogas for electricity. Loowatt toilets harness the biogas to let users charge phones for free. A mobile app lets operators know when toilets are full.
