Ecological Sanitation (EcoSan)

Ecological sanitation, commonly known as EcoSan, plays a vital role in disaster risk management. This innovative approach uses sustainable, environmentally friendly methods to manage human waste and promote hygiene, providing an integrated solution to the health and environmental challenges often encountered during crises.

By adopting practices such as composting toilets, ecological wastewater treatment systems and nutrient recycling from organic waste, EcoSan not only helps reduce contamination of water and soil but also strengthens community resilience against environmental shocks.
