Sanitation is still a huge issue in parts of both continents – Woodco director Declan Crosse says their project could go a long way in tackling the problem.

“Open defecation in India is a problem with human waste getting into groundwater, rivers and lakes. So where we started was we developed a unit that takes in human waste and through a thermal process we basically render it safe.”

“We reckon that if we could reduce 1% of the human waste that’s being washed into water courses in one city in India it has the knock-on effect of saving them about $3 billion in health care costs over a 12 month period.”
