Sustainable sanitation

Sustainable sanitation refers to systems and practices that manage human waste in ways that protect public health and the environment. It aims to provide safe, hygienic solutions that reduce water pollution, conserve resources, and recycle nutrients. This includes technologies like composting toilets, biogas digesters, and engineered wetlands that treat waste naturally. Sustainable sanitation is vital for improving quality of life, particularly in developing areas, as it helps prevent diseases, enhances hygiene, and can provide valuable resources like fertilizer and energy. Ultimately, it seeks to create a balance between human needs and ecological sustainability.
