The Circular Sanitation TOOLBOX was developed in response to requests from practitioners looking for know-how on resource-oriented and/or decentralized sanitation. In this emerging field, information is often scattered and technical—making it difficult to navigate, especially for newcomers. There is a growing demand for simplified information tailored to a wider range of stakeholders beyond environmental engineers—those involved in the planning, construction, and management of sanitation systems.
To meet this need, the toolbox provides information that is brief, structured, and visually engaging. Content is organized into three types of guides: Goals, Strategies, and Technologies. Each guide works as a standalone resource.
