Utiliza 2 tecnolog\u00edas con patente pendiente para deshacerse de los desechos en el sitio: (a) un material evaporativo que r\u00e1pidamente encoge los desechos humanos al convertir ~ 90-95% en vapor de agua puro; (b) una bater\u00eda biol\u00f3gica alimentada por la orina que convierte la orina en electricidad.

This technology emerged from work done for NASA on wastewater recycling on the International Space Station, and is now being deployed in off-grid rural communities and refugee communities.\u00a0<i>Cambridge, MA<\/i>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.change-water.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">change-water.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jU7aVkVCKho\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem and Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>50% of the world\u2019s population lives without safe, clean toilets, because they live in places with no sewage plumbing. To expand access to safe, clean sanitation, we need a new way to \u201cflush\u201d that doesn\u2019t need plumbing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>cWL\u2019s iThrone is a waste-shrinking toilet to provide safe, clean sanitation to places where people can\u2019t flush. It uses 2 patent-pending technologies to get rid of waste onsite: (a) an evaporative material that quickly shrinks human waste by converting ~90-95% of it into pure water vapor; (b) a pee-powered bio-battery that turns urine into electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biomimicry in Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>cWL\u2019s evaporative approach to \u201cflushing\u201d mimics how plants use evapotranspiration to pull moisture from soil, releasing it as pure molecular water through stomata on their leaves. Inspired by nature\u2019s recycling of waste into energy, cWL\u2019s bio-battery uses symbiotic microbes to collaboratively consume and convert urine into electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask Nature Strategies Referenced:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/strategy\/leaf-pores-draw-water-through-plants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leaf Pores Draw Water Through Plants<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/strategy\/pitcher-rims-are-extremely-slippery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Membranes Desalinate Water<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/idea\/eco-machine-wastewater-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eco-Machine Wastewater Management<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/collections\/managing-water\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Managing Water<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/collections\/energy-in-nature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Energy in Nature<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/strategy\/water-vapor-harvesting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Water Vapor Harvesting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/idea\/solar-water-still-and-pump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solar Water Still and Pump<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/asknature.org\/idea\/stabilitech-vaccine-stabilization-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stabilitech Vaccine Stabilization Technology<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"solution-details\">\n<p class=\"label\"><strong>Project Name:\u00a0<\/strong>change:WATER Labs<\/p>\n<p class=\"label\"><strong>SDG:\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"dynamic-value\">6.
