NORMALISING CBS
Making CBS business as usual in sanitation planning by getting the right policies, standards, regulation and contracts in place.
With no digging involved, quick to install and requiring minimal space, we believe container-based sanitation (CBS) has an essential role to play in supporting the realisation of universal access.
CBS is an effective solution in informal and transitional settlements, as well as regions with rocky ground, high groundwater, droughts, hills, or frequent flooding. Find out more in our implementation guide.
CBS is a cost-effective way for operators and authorities to deliver safely managed sanitation. It also typically requires a lower initial investment for users compared to constructing a latrine or pour flush toilet. Discover our work on cost analysis and carbon credits.
.Through active management, and often separating faeces from urine, CBS reduces carbon emissions from excreta and is resilient during floods and droughts. Explore our work to calculate CBS emission reductions.
