It’s described as a portable, space-saving, waste-shrinking toilet that eliminates up to 95% of daily waste on-site.
It’s designed for dwellings and communities that lack power or plumbing. And it just snagged funding from the MIT Solve initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.plans to conduct its first pilot deployment in a district school and hospital in Uganda, providing sanitation to 500-1,000 people.
There are other container-based toilets, iThrone developers say, but this one only needs to be emptied once or twice a month as opposed to every one or two days.When someone uses the iThrone, the waste is collected in evaporative pouches. The pouches dehydrate liquid and solid waste daily so that only a few grams of dried solids remain inside and are hygienically contained.
Used pouches can be swapped for clean pouches, with the shrink-wrapped stuff disposed of in a landfill, processed at a treatment plant, or used to make fertilizer or fuel depending on the location, says“... for all of these options, our waste-shrinking solution makes all of these processes much cleaner, more economical and more efficient,” Yousef adds.
