Content - Summary

The paradigm of ecological sanitation (ecosan) regards human excreta and water from households not as a waste but as a resource that should be made available for use. Ecosan does not favour a specific sanitation technology, but is rather a new philosophy in handling substances that have so far been seen simply as wastewater and solid waste for disposal.
Ecosan approaches are also ideally suited to contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals on sanitation because they are highly flexible and can be implemented at lower cost than centralised disposal-oriented systems.
