Further Description / Program

Container-Based Sanitation: An Emerging Ecological Alternative to Sewers for Rapidly Expanding Cities

SOIL is a research and development non-profit organization based in Haiti, working to prove the viability of an ecological sanitation business model for affordably and sustainably providing safely managed sanitation services to dense urban communities using container-based sanitation.

With the population of urban dwellers living in informal settlements expected to double by 2030, it is critical that advocates for universally accessible urban sanitation look to a menu of sanitation options that extends beyond the traditional approaches of sewers and onsite sanitation. In recent years, container-based sanitation (CBS), an end-to-end service that collects waste hygienically from waterless toilets built around sealable, removable containers, has been gaining traction as an innovative way to provide safely managed sanitation in dense urban settlements.

SOIL’s flagship social business, EkoLakay, is a vertically integrated service that provides desirable and affordable household sanitation in Haiti’s 2 largest cities. All waste collected from households is safely treated and transformed into compost which is then sold to generate revenue and promote agriculture and reforestation.

This presentation will unpack the key components of a CBS system using Haiti as an example. Specific points addressed will include a discussion of how CBS compares to traditional approaches in terms of desirability, cost, environmental safety, and public health implications from the perspective of developing citywide inclusive sanitation options. Additionally the presentation will end with a set of questions designed to encourage discussion and debate among participants regarding the applicability of CBS in rural settings and the feasibility of urine capture and recycling.
