## Why: Sanitation that does not depend on a septic truck or a pit

Homeowners want sanitation without a septic truck. Schools and clinics need it to be safe for many users, and estates and developers need it planned in from the start. A biodigester treats waste on site and gives back biogas and fertiliser instead of polluting soil and water.

## Who it is for

### Homeowners

What you need: Sanitation without a septic truck.

What you get: A system that treats waste on site and needs little maintenance.

## How: Assessed for your site and users, then sized, installed and handed over

We assess your site and who will use it, size and install the system, and train you to maintain it. At the Eco-Living Oasis at Kent, biodigesters replace septic tanks. The idea is the same on every site: treat waste where it is made.
