Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan)

Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan) is an approach to managing human waste sustainably by safely recycling nutrients back into the environment. It uses sanitation systems that treat urine and feces in environmentally friendly ways, often through composting or separation techniques. EcoSan aims to reduce water usage, prevent pollution, and conserve resources, turning waste into valuable products like fertilizer. It promotes hygiene, health, and environmental protection, especially in areas lacking infrastructure. By viewing waste as a resource rather than simply disposal, EcoSan supports sustainable development and improved sanitation.
