The eThekwini Municipality in the greater Durban region with its 80,000 urine diverting toilets is often highlighted as a success story for dry sanitation. In a recent presentation at SLU, Professor Chris Buckley, Head of the Pollution Research Group at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa reflected on the eThekwini case study.

To honor Prof. HĂ„kan Jönsson who retires during 2017, the Kretsloppsteknik research group at the Department of Energy and Technology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is organizing a Farewell symposium on the 25th of October, between 13:00 and 17:30. The Symposium, entitled âSanitation Technologies of the Futureâ will host several Swedish and International experts who will present their visions about the future of the sanitation sector. A schedule of the symposium can be seen below.
Teknologiska framsteg inom sanitetssektorn har möjliggjort sĂ€ker Ă„terföring av mĂ€nskligt avfall till jordbruket för anvĂ€ndning som gödningsmedel. From ett socialvetenskapligt perspektiv leder dessa framsteg till en rad nya frĂ„gor: Ăr bönder beredda att anvĂ€nda sĂ„dana typer av gödningsmedel? Hur uppfattar bönderna dessa typer av gödningsmedel â som avfall eller resurs? Vilka faktorer pĂ„verkar dessa uppfattningar och pĂ„följande attityd till denna typ av praxis?
