Scaling-up sanitation businesses in low- and middle-income countries (Thursday 22 January, 09.00 – 17.00)
Organisations involved: re.source, Loowatt, WASAZA/BORDA, GOAL and Eawag
Lead organizer: Eawag
Names of workshop co-facilitators: Kory Russell (Re.Source), Virginia Gardiner (LOOWATT), Christopher Kellner (WASAZA/BORDA), Niall Boot (GOAL), Heiko Gebauer (Eawag)
Description
Context
The workshop considers sanitation as a business. In the workshop, we discuss various aspects for optimizing sanitation businesses. We discuss cartidge-based systems, transfer stations, and decentralized treatment options. We develop business scenarios for moving from a pilot study to a city scale implementation. The workshop will be interactive and we want participants to contribute actively to the discussion.
Specific learning objectives
- Understanding key challenges for cartridge-based sanitation systems
- Scaling process from the pilot study to a city-scale sanitation provision
- Optimizing the sanitation chain (e.g., collection, waste treatment, and resource recovery)
- Understanding the impact of decentralized faecal sludge management infrastructure and transfer stations on the sanitation chain
Expected outcomes
Solutions for managing cartridge-based sanitation systems on a city-scale Solutions for managing decentralized faecal sludge management infrastructure (transfer stations and treatment facilities)
