About
ECOSAN
Ecological
sanitation
implies
separating
waste
streams,
saving
water
&
energy,
nutrient
recycling,
cost
efficiency,
and
the
integration
of
technology
to
environmental,
organisational
and
social
conditions.
The
philosophy
of
ecosan
is
to
reuse
nutrients
and
water
contained
in
“waste
water”
for
agriculture,
horticulture
or
wasteland
greening,
instead
of
disposing
them
into
rivers,
lakes
or
groundwater
aquifers
where
they
cause
many
environmental
problems
and
contaminate
precious
fresh
water
resources.
The
objective
is
to
protect
human
health
&
the
environment
while
reducing
the
use
of
water
in
sanitation
systems
&
recycling
nutrients
to
help
reduce
the
need
for
artificial
fertilizers
in
agriculture.
Ecosan
system
restore
remarkable
natural
balance
between
the
quantity
of
nutrients
excreted
by
per
person
in
one
year
and
to
produce
their
food
so
it
helps
to
save
limited
resources.
Ecosan
does
not
favor
a
particular
technology
but
it
is
a
philosophy
in
recycling
oriented
resource
management
which
offers
modern,
convenient,
gender
friendly
and
desirable
solutions.
