Content - Summary
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH is an
enterprise for international cooperation, working worldwide for sustainable development. Its headquarters are located in Eschborn, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The main building of GTZ’s headquarters, which provides office space for about 600 employees, has recently been renovated. As part of the renovation work GTZ has implemented a modern system for the separate collection and reuse of urine and brown water (faecal matter mixed with flushing water). The direct aims of the project are to reduce water consumption, to minimise the emission of nutrients and micro contaminants such as pharmaceutical residues and hormones into the public sewer system and receiving water bodies, and to enable the recovery of nutrients for agricultural use and water.
