A new web-based platform, REVAMP tool, launched today, enables people to explore the resource recovery potential of urban organic waste streams in their local communities and cities.

In this podcast, SEI Researcher Daniel Ddiba answers questions about using poop as an alternative to fossil fuel-based energy sources.

This 2nd edition of Sanitation, Wastewater Management and Sustainability: From Waste Disposal to Resource Recovery aims to bring about change by showing how improved sanitation and wastewater management can benefit both humans and the environment. Wastewater and excreta are commonly seen as useless and potentially dangerous waste products. However, they are indeed valuable resources, which if utilized correctly, can serve to improve ecosystem health […]

Every day, Kenyan urban areas generate solid waste at the rate of 0.31 to 0.75 kg per person per day. Less than half of that waste is collected and only about 8% of it is recycled.

The REVAMP tool estimates and values what reuse products could be made from a city’s wastewater, sewage and organic waste.
