person’s daily pee contains enough nutrients to fertilize a field that produces 500 grams of wheat, enough to make a whole loaf of bread
of fertilizer supply is imported to most countries, putting food production at risk during times of geopolitical uncertainty
people using urine-diverting toilets already, with the potential to contribute to local fertilizer production
technology available to convert the urine into a dry, granular, nitrogen rich fertilizer – Sanitation360
Our urine contains 80% of the nutrients we flush down the toilet. Those nutrients cause pollution in both our atmosphere and waters. Instead, we collect the urine and convert the nutrients into a dry, granular fertilizer.
Without fertilizer, food production suffers. Most fertilizers used today are fossil fuel-dependent and made from non-renewable resources, whereas urine is a resource we will always produce. Urine is therefore a reliable and local source of fertilizer which can guarantee food security in uncertain times.
Urine can be collected from anywhere, such as from festivals, homes, public buildings and sports arenas. Our solution can turn any toilet into a local producer of natural fertilizers, enabling resilient communities.
Björn, Prithvi and Jenna have been working together over the past 4 years driving the scientific development of how to safely recirculate plant nutrients from human excreta back to the agricultural fields. Through laboratory experiments and pilot testing in Sweden, Finland and France, we co-developed a system for concentrating the plant nutrients in urine to produce a dry urine fertilizer.
We started the company in 2019 to be able to transfer our scientific knowledge into commercial products that can ultimately make going to the bathroom more sustainable.
