SOIL Research Projects To provide public, shared, and private household UDDTs, and collects the waste for processing into agricultural-grade compost. Research activities focus on private-sector solutions to providing sanitation services. Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods, SOIL
Since building Haiti’s first ecological sanitation (EcoSan) toilet in 2006 and Haiti’s first urban waste treatment facility in 2009, SOIL has gone on to become one of the largest sanitation providers in Haiti. SOIL provides public, shared, and private household UDDTs, and collects the waste for processing into agricultural-grade compost. Current research activities are focused on demonstrating the potential for a private-sector solution to providing sanitation services in impoverished communities and include best practices in EcoSan, thermophilic composting, and agricultural uses of compost. SOIL's full list of papers, conference presentations, and other resources are available here.
Sample projects include:
- Ecological sanitation in emergency contexts
- DNA Extraction from compost
- Market analysis for EcoSan compost
