THINKING BEYOND THE SEWER
Not only are we reaching people who didn’t previously have access to sanitation, by
developing a solution outside of the sewer, SOIL is ensuring the service is:
MORE AFFORDABLE:
SOIL’s service is
already one of the
most cost-effective
interventions in the
world and is poised
to cut the costs
further in the coming
years.
LOCALLY OPTIMAL:
SOIL’s design allows
the service to reach
densely packed
neighborhoods with
high water tables
and contested land
tenure in the near
term.
CLIMATE SMART:
SOIL’s toilets
are resilient to
flooding, preserve
scare resources,
and support
environmentally
beneficial resource
reuse.
FORWARD THINKING:
Unlike sewers, SOIL
toilets do not require
expensive water and
energy supplies to
operate.
SOIL’s revolutionary solution
represents a significant
breakthrough in the sanitation
field and opens the potential
of scaling rapidly in urban
communities lacking sanitation
services. By pairing powerful
ecological systems found in
nature with innovative service
delivery design models for the
rapidly growing cities of the
21st century, SOIL is bringing
the needs of the future to life
today.
