A sanitation service for densely populated areas with low incomes that is based on the market and includes everyone.
Over 4.2 billion people don’t have access to clean toilets (WHO). The results are the spread of disease, high death rates, violence against women, and pollution of the environment. Also, the water and sanitation system is very inefficient, with 80% of the world’s wastewater going back into the environment without being treated or used again (The United Nations World Water Development Report, 2017). Mosan provides sanitation that is clean, safe, and respectful. It also helps protect and improve the environment by preventing pollution and closing nutrient cycles. The Mosan solution is a decentralized, off-grid, in-home service that doesn’t use water and is for people who live in places with a lot of people. The service makes sure that human waste is safely stored, moved, and changed. Mosan uses the principles of a circular economy to turn human waste into useful resources and put them back into the economy. This creates a paradigm shift and a creative movement that leads to long-term change. Mosan uses human- and planet-centered design methods, working closely with communities, building local skills, and making sure there is a high rate of adoption.
