Welcome to Egestabase

 

A goldmine of evidence from research and practice on the recovery and reuse of plant nutrients found in human excreta and domestic wastewater.

Our ambition is to help diverse actors around the world find and navigate this evidence and stay on top of new findings.

Ultimately, we hope to contribute to increased nutrient circularity in a way that supports healthy water, soil, food, and people.

Framework and Option Space

Our framework is underpinned by the the following core dimensions.

  • Source: Where are nutrients recovered from?
  • Technology: Which recovery technology is being used?
  • Product: In what form are nutrients recovered?
  • Reuse: How are nutrients reused?
  • Target: Which nutrients are targeted?

The option space for nutrient recovery and reuse is constituted by distinct combinations of these dimensions.
