ABOVE ALL, WE ENCOURAGE RESOURCE RECOVERY AND RE-USE, GIVEN THAT BOTH URINE AND FECAL MATTER HAVE BEEN HAILED AS “THE GREEN GOLD” AND “THE BLACK GOLD” RESPECTIVELY. ESAN, ABOVE ALL AIMS TO EDUCATE AND EMPOWER USERS WHILE CONSERVING NATURAL RESOURCES. FURTHERMORE, WE NEED TO CLOSE THE LOOP.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

WITH THIS IN MIND, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. COUPLED WITH OFF GRID SANITATION SOLUTIONS, AND RESOURCE MINDFULNESS, IT IS POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE THINKING OF USE AND DISPOSE. THE MAIN CONCEPT IS THAT OF A CIRCULAR ECONOMY.

NOTABLY, AFRICA, AND SOUTH AFRICA ARE ON TRACK WITH ADVANCEMENTS IN THE RE PURPOSING OF TOILET WASTE.

FOR INSTANCE UNIVERSITY OF KWA-ZULU NATAL PROFESSOR, ADEMOLA OLANIRAN HAS SHOWN THAT URINE CAN BE USED TO MAKE STRUVITE THAT CAN BE SAFELY USED IN FERTILISERS FOR HORTICULTURE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, UCT LECTURER DYLLON RANDALL HAS WON THE IChemE WARNER PRIZE FOR HIS ENGINEERING OF A WATER LESS URINAL THAT PRODUCES FERTILISER AND THE GROWING OF BIO BRICKS FROM URINE. MARKEDLY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME AFRICA HAS RECEIVED THIS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD.

SIMILARLY, TOYOTA HAS DEVELOPED A CONCEPT CAR THAT RUNS ON FUEL DERIVED FROM FECAL WASTE. THE CAR HAS HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS, WHICH ARE FED WITH FUEL DERIVED FROM FAECAL “WASTE”.

BY THE SAME TOKEN, BMW SOUTH AFRICA HAS BEEN USING A PROCESS AT IT’S FACTORY IN BRONKHORSTSPRUIT TO SUPPLEMENT IT’S ELECTRICITY DEMAND USING COW FAECES AND OTHER ORGANIC WASTE.

IN BOTH KENYA AND UGANDA, STERILISED FAECAL MATERIALS ARE USED TO MANUFACTURE CHARCOAL BRIQUETTES.

OTHER LIKEWISE  PROCESSES INVOLVE THE CONVERSION OF FAECAL MATERIALS INTO PROTEIN FEEDS AND COMMERCIAL OILS.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT, TO REMEMBER IS THE FACT THAT WHERE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR REVENUE, BUSINESS WILL FOLLOW, HENCE THE RESULT IS A  GROWING ECONOMY.

IN PARTICULAR, WE HAVE THE “THRONES VS PHONES” THEORY, 6 OF THE WORLD’S 7 BILLION PEOPLE OWN CELL PHONES. WHILE COMPARATIVELY, ONLY 4.5 BILLION  HAVE A TOILET.

THE ISSUES LIE NOT IN ACQUIRING TOILETS BUT MUCH RATHER IN THE LACK OF WATER TO FLUSH THE TOILETS AND THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM TO FLUSH THEM INTO.

AS A RESULT, SHOULD WE THEN NOT CONSIDER WAYS AND MEANS TO BE NON RELIANT ON WATER TO FLUSH TOILETS AND CONSEQUENTLY SEWERAGE SYSTEMS? THIS IS THE THINKING BEHIND ESAN.

ESAN – SHORT FOR ECOLOGICAL SANITATION, THUS EXPLORES A NEW WAY OF THINKING ABOUT SANITATION. WE NEED NOW, MORE THAN EVER TO CONSIDER ABLUTION FACILITIES THAT DO NOT RELY ON WATER AND SEWERAGE SYSTEMS. ALTERNATIVELY, WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE WATER CLOSET.

GRANTED THAT THE AGE OF THE TOILET FAR EXCEEDS THE AGE OF THE SMART PHONE, WHY DO WE STILL HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT TOILETS? ABOVE ALL, WE HAVE BEEN BRAIN ‘FLUSHED’. OUR COLLECTIVE THINKING CONTINUES TO BE THAT A CERAMIC BOWL THAT FLUSHES AWAY MANY LITERS OF CLEAN DRINKING WATER WITH EVERY TOILET USE AS THE NORM. TO THIS END, WE NEED A NEW NORM. IN SHORT, WE HAVE HAVE TO LOOK AT TECHNOLOGIES THAT SAFELY RE-USE EXCRETA.
