About container-based sanitation
Container-based sanitation is a service that provides standalone toilets and regularly collects the waste in sealed containers to be safely treated, disposed of or reused.
SAFE
CBS toilets never fill up or leave sludge untreated to contaminate the environment as they can be sealed to ensure no waste is released into the environment.
COST EFFECTIVE & AFFORDABLE
CBS is a cost effective form of safely managed sanitation that typically requires a substantially lower initial investment compared to the cost of constructing a latrine or pour flush toilet.
CLIMATE SMART
Depending on the resource recapture and reuse technology employed during treatment, CBS can contribute to carbon sequestration.
