This grant will focus on the next round of prototype development and field testing support for RTT (Reinvent the Toilet) concepts. Currently, Yixing-EcoSan has built and continues to test initial EV prototypes based on the Caltech design.
We are proposing to test nine toilets in a wider range of conditions, including working with WRC in South Africa and the CNTA competition in China.
