How to compost (your sh*t)
Channel: Critical Concrete
Date: 2021-11-18

The way we treat human waste is BROKEN! Why? We use millions of litres of drinking water to flush our poop and then have to process this sewage using energy and chemicals. But there is another way!

Compost toilets are a means of closing the cycle whereby human waste becomes nutrients for growing. And, as we show in this video, moving to a compost toilet is very simple. With limited space, cheap materials and proper maintenance compost toilets can be achieved in urban environments.

Want to know more about this technology and how we built ours? Check out the full article on the subject here: https://criticalconcrete.com/compost-toilet-our-response-to-water-scarcity/

Our journey into compost toilets has been heavily informed by 'The Humanure Handbook by Joseph Jenkins'. We highly recommend this informative, digestible and eye-opening book for those looking to know more about this topic.

Critical Concrete is a non profit organisation based in Porto that works actively on the refurbishment of socially relevant spaces shared by low-income communities, all by promoting sustainable and environmentally-friendly architectural practises. 

In our Research-Lab we explore unconventional materials and technologies, we transform our ideas into prototypes and apply them to real life conditions to find and testify ecologically responsible and cost competitive solutions. The laboratory has developed an open source collaborative research practice and since the beginning we are sharing our findings on our blog. We want to increase awareness and show different ways of building and living and looking forward to enlarging our reach by bringing our experience now to Youtube.
