To meet global challenges of resource scarcity in growing urban populations, we need to recover and reuse resources in our sanitation waste streams. There is an abundance of scientific research, tools and guidelines about how to implement resource recovery initiatives, but it is scattered across platforms. Practitioners are increasingly seeking to recover water, energy, and nutrients from sanitation and other organic waste streams, but difficulties in accessing actionable information hinder implementation.
The Resource Recovery Toolbox aims to bridge the gap between knowledge and action by collecting and curating tools for planning and implementing resource recovery, to make them more discoverable and accessible to practitioners and decision makers.
We believe that digital knowledge management solutions can drive scalable, real-world resource recovery initiatives globally.
This Toolbox was created after engaging with practitioners, organizations and academics in the sanitation, waste management, agriculture, and energy sectors and is designed to suit their needs. The platform is based on innovative knowledge management techniques, includes intuitive navigation and integrates natural language AI search.
We strive for continuous improvement and welcome your feedback.
