Brief description of ToR
The sanitation supply chain is critical aspect of the urban water chain, offers several opportunities to recover resources and the close the resource loop in towns and cities, and a critical component of a sanitation sensitive design. Under conditions of limited natural resources, population growth and rapidly urbanizing populations, a paradigm shift may be required that considers sanitation waste as a resource with potential for material and energy recovery. Opportunities are available for water, organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, heavy metals, and energy recovery.
