Toilet turns human waste into clean water
The “nano membrane toilet”, being developed with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aims to help bring sanitation into the homes of 2.5bn people still without it in developing countries, without needing water supplies or sewage pipes.
The team at Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, say it could also be used in developed countries, for uses ranging from the military to luxury yachts, the construction industry, or even as an odour-free alternative to toilets widely used at music festivals.
