This solution brings waterless, affordable, and reliable sanitation to urban low-income households.
x-runner brings an appealing waterless sanitation solution to low-income households without access to conventional toilets in the capital of Peru, Lima. With subscription to a pick-up plan, households receive a waterless, resource-separating toilet combined with a weekly service that collects waste directly from the home. At the treatment hub, human feces are safely processed through composting, thereby generating a supply of natural fertilizers for farmlands. This customer-oriented model creates an instant improvement in the lives of families, while keeping human waste out of waterways and maintaining the cleanliness of neighborhoods.
More than 750 million people live in urban low-income areas without access to proper sanitation. Furthermore, where water is scarce, a sewage-based solution cannot work. In Lima, the world’s second most polluted capital, close to a quarter of the population is not connected to the public sewer network. This attractive, affordable, and easy-to-install system successfully addresses low-income families’ health, social, environmental, and financial challenges.
Every month, x-runner converts more than 2.5 tons of waste that would otherwise pollute the land and waterways into compost.
x-runner reports that 93% of its customers felt the system had a positive impact upon their lives.
By means of its subscription model, customers avoid large upfront investments, making sanitation affordable to more people.
