Toilets as entry points, not end points
A toilet is not just a facility — it is the starting point of a value chain. SanFlow & WASHLink connects every full pit to a service provider, and every load of waste to a partner who turns it into value.
From waste to value
Where treatment infrastructure exists, SanFlow connects collected waste to partners who transform it into:
Organic fertilizer
Use: Agriculture
Improves soil health, reduces chemical dependency
Biochar
Use: Soil enhancement, carbon sequestration
Long-term carbon storage
Briquettes
Use: Clean cooking fuel
Reduces deforestation
Biogas
Use: Energy generation
Alternative to charcoal and firewood
Carbon credits
Use: Climate financing
Revenue for sustainable operations
How the platform makes it happen
- Install affordable toilet units in underserved urban and rural areas
- Monitor facilities in real time using low-cost IoT sensors
- Connect users to nearby facilities through our app and WhatsApp assistant
- Coordinate waste collection with service providers and exhausters
- Route waste to treatment, where it becomes a resource, not a problem
Three challenges, solved together
- Public health — reduced contamination, fewer disease outbreaks
- Environment — lower methane emissions, cleaner water sources
- Economy — new jobs, new revenue streams, new products
Municipal and provider dashboards track waste delivered to treatment partners and the estimated CO₂ avoided.
Building a circular sanitation economy
We work with municipalities seeking data-driven planning, service providers optimising operations, waste-to-value enterprises needing consistent feedstock, development partners supporting WASH and climate goals, and communities ready to improve their sanitation.
