Engineering Microbial Communities to Compost Human Waste
Applicable to Existing Technology
Our product addresses issues with on-site sanitation without needing to build new infrastructures. Humus powder can be directly added to non-sewered toilets to start the composting process
Reduces Odors and Pathogens
Instead of using deodorizers, the composting process helps eliminate odors. Pathogens such as E.coli and Helminth ova are killed by the high temperatures produced by composting.
Contributes to a Circular Economy
Human waste is full of nutrients. When composted, it provides a stable soil that is great for growing plants. By accelerating the composting process, nutrient-rich humus is created.
