New sanitation approaches try to find solutions to promote public health, save water, prevent pollution and recycle nutrients in human excreta. One technology that achieves these challenges is called ecological sanitation, whose principle is to recognize that urine and feces are not waste, but a valuable resources that have to be recovered, treated if it is necessary and safely reused as fertilizers in agriculture. Urine has the highest amount of nutrients present in the excreta. Nitrogen is the most present (90%), then potassium (73%) and phosphorus (65%). When human urine coming out of the body, is an almost sterile substance, and unlike feces, does not require treatment to be used as liquid fertilizer. However, cross-contamination by fec...
