GLOBAL ADVOCACY
We advocate for CBS to be mainstreamed by promoting and raising awareness of CBS benefits to ensure appropriate policies, standards, regulations and contracts are in place.
About container-based sanitation
Container-based sanitation (CBS) is a sustained sanitation service, featuring toilets with containers that are frequently sealed and collected, so that the waste can be safely treated, reused or disposed of. Learn more in our implementation guide.
SAFE
CBS services make sure residents and workers are safe. Excreta is hygienically contained and treated to ensure sludge is not released into the environment.
COST EFFECTIVE & AFFORDABLE
CBS is a cost-effective form of safely managed sanitation that typically requires a lower initial investment compared to constructing a latrine or pour flush toilet.
CLIMATE SMART
Through active management, and often separating faeces from urine, CBS reduces carbon emissions from excreta and is resilient during floods and droughts.
