InnoCentive challenge; Safe Containment or Processing of Human Waste in Emergency (award of 15.000USD)

From the InnoCentive website:

Temporary latrines are an effective means of containing human faecal waste. In emergency situations, pit latrines are an efficient and relatively rapid solution for containment of human waste. However, in situations where ground is not suitable for digging pit latrines (flooded or urban environments), there are few sustainable options for waste containment e.g. above ground latrines have limited capacity & require frequent emptying.

The Seeker requires easy to use & economical solutions that will either contain human waste, or processes that will treat human waste so that existing latrines may be emptied without creating a local health risk. This Challenge is sponsored by the Humanitarian Innovation Fund through a partnership between ELRHA and ALNAP. For full details look at

Closing at 3 July 2012
