The Reinvented Toilet: Technology and Opportunity

Join Andrea Stowell and Cary Strickland of the Sanitation Technology Platform on September 17 at 9 am EST for a webinar on the reinvented toilet. Launched in 2011, this new class of sanitation solutions eliminates harmful pathogens and converts waste into by-products like clean water and fertilizer—all without connections to sewers or water lines.

Andrea Stowell and Cary Strickland provide an overview of the reinvented toilet and its benefits, the market opportunity, and the stage of development of the technologies. They will also present the Transformative Sanitation Technology Directory, an online resource anyone can use to find information about the technologies that have been developed with support from the Gates Foundation. The directory enables visitors to

  • identify potential technology solutions for licensing or partnership
  • evaluate sub-systems for integrating their own portfolios,
  • explore complementary technologies such as menstrual hygiene management systems or novel toilet interfaces, or
  • identify technologies that will meet the needs of their city, building, or other use case.
