Explore Perspectives

What is a perspective?

Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.

Arborloo is a type of composting toilet. Combining a user interface and a storage and composting pit. The shallow pit is filled with excreta and soil/ash and then covered with soil. The decommissioned full pit poses no immediate health risk and the contents will degrade naturally over time. Alternatively, a tree planted on top of the nutrient-rich pit will vigorously grow.
