The hygienic disposal of human waste, without using precious water resources, makes
it possible not only to provide a clean and comfortable living environment, but also to recycle
human waste and garbage as fertilizer. The system, powered by renewable batteries,
purifies rainwater, eliminating the need for building infrastructure, such as water andsewerage systems, water treatment equipment, power generation facilities, and powergrids.
Furthermore, the integration into a single package enables the installation of thesystem in various types of houses. This results in the provision of a clean and comfortableliving and housing environment for an increasing number of houses in the suburbs of
Kenyan cities.
The corporate philosophy of LIXIL states that the company will “contribute to improving
people’s comfort and lifestyle.” By proposing the resource-recycling “Non-Infrastructure
Unit,” which contributes to improving the housing environment, LIXIL is committed tosupporting the development of African countries including Kenya, where rapid development
is expected due to population increase.
