Discussion details

Created 18 January 2016

Five years since the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation first challenged the world to design a sustainable and inexpensive toilet, researchers from Cranfield University may have a viable contender.

It's known as the Nano Membrane Toilet, and it was funded by the Gates Foundation in September 2012 for $710,000.

The design is waterless, easy to use, and provided it receives additional funding for field tests, could very well be part of the future of sanitation.

It has the component for sustainability, as the service with profit is included in the concept. Problem with toilet paper, high technology (?), but certainly a very interesting approach.
