change:WATER Labs
United States
change:WATER Labs is developing the “iThrone”, a portable, waste-shrinking toilet to aggressively evaporate (or “flush” away) 90-95% of daily sewage onsite—to clean up communities and drastically reduce the costs, volumes and frequencies of waste collection, thus enabling decentralized sanitation servicing to be much more scalable and sustainable. Their 2 core technologies are: (1) a low-cost evaporative membrane that soaks up and evaporates the water content of liquid and solid waste; and (2) a “pee-powered” battery to power ventilation that eliminates odor. Their toilet not only conserves water, it recovers clean water from waste.
