2 Our Key Messages

The Problem The world’s biggest business opportunities – Today, about 4.5 billion people—more than half come from addressing its biggest challenges the world’s population—use facilities – The reinvented toilet market alone is estimated and services that are not safely managed. Even conservatively to be a $6 billion global annual when these people use a toilet or pit , revenue opportunity by 2030. It could help open more than percent (57%) of their waste is not the door to an even larger sanitation sector and contained, transported, or treated in a way that value chain supported by private and public safely contains harmful pathogens.1 investments in products, jobs and services.

The Technology – New off-grid and treatment systems are on the cusp of transforming sanitation. Adoption of new products, including the reinvented toilet and the omni-processor, can provide people and cities with life-changing options that will mean more flexibility, safety, and convenience.
