Ecological Sanitation, often referred to as EcoSan, is an approach to sanitation that emphasizes the safe and sustainable management of human waste. It aims to close the nutrient cycle by treating waste as a resource rather than a problem. This method often involves composting toilets and other systems that allow for the safe reuse of nutrients in agriculture. The primary goal of Ecological Sanitation is to protect human health and the environment while promoting sustainable practices. By using natural processes to treat waste, it reduces pollution and conserves water, making it a viable solution for communities lacking traditional sanitation infrastructure.
