Important results from the project
The key activities (develop a business model development, technological adaptation, and forming partnerships for implementation in South Africa) were completed with the final outcome of Sanitation360 deciding to open a daughter company (Limited Liability Companies with Dividend Limitation) for our operations in the global south.
Expected long term effects
The long-term impacts of this project is that we now have an effect business model to scale-up urine stabilization and processing in the global south via our licensing model. Though this, we aim to help improve waste management, toilet access, and offer a model for global expansion of decentralised sanitation.
Approach and implementation
Regular online meetings were held with the project partners to ensure the set activities were progressing. Sanitation360 employees made several visits to South Africa to develop the urine dryer. These activities were closely aligned with the project´s objectives. External challenges included partner´s illnesses, delays in material shipments and lack of knowledge of the use of urine as a fertilizer. With the challenges, we applied for an extension to be able to complete the activities.
