The save! toilet, which uses the NoMix process. Design: EOOS next - What do our toilets have to do with global challenges such as climate change? Climate change - particularly fast, worldwide population growth - poses significant global challenges for us. These challenges are summarised in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and also relate to Urban Water Management. SDG 6 calls for clean drinking water and sanitary facilities for everyone as well as protecting water resources against pollution. This means that we must cut the amount of untreated wastewater worldwide in half and substantially increase the recycling and safe reprocessing of water. SDG 14 calls for reduced ocean pollution, particularly pollution from nutrients, which are present in our wastewater in massive quantities. SDG 2 is intended to end world hunger, and the recovery of nutrients from wastewater also plays a key role in this process.
