WHY SANITATION ?



Today, public toilets in India suffer from three major challenges:

Constant maintenance

Uninterrupted water supply to meet high water requirements

Inadequate waste disposal mechanisms

A combination of these three factors forces the general public, especially women to use open spaces for urination and defecation. This not only compromises their dignity and safety, but also their health, causing various diseases, chronic illness, malnutrition, and on a much larger scale; the loss of human resource!

ECOMITRA : A SMART SOLUTION



Smart hygiene maintenance: eliminates manual cleaning with auto flushing and floor cleaning. It also decides the optimum water required.

Smart entry management: stops user entry in case of empty water tanks or chokes, a patented sensorless tech.

On-site waste water treatment: saves 80% water by recycling it for flushing, floor cleaning, etc. A patented model, it is maintenance free with zero operational costs.

Smart health monitoring: conveys maintenance schedule to central monitoring station based on the toilet’s health.

Runs on solar energy: no grid connection needed.

Robust Structure: Our toilet is a strong and robust RCC superstructure. The use of metallic fixtures and sturdy fittings ensure their use over a long period of time and reduce the probability and need of replacement.

EcoMitra saves 0.5 million litres of water per toilet every year

Prevents soil and water degradation caused by dumping of untreated waste

Solar panels save 1,000 units of electricity per Ecomitra every year

IMPACT

In the first five years, we are looking at directly impacting 5 million Indians who have to use unhygienic public toilets at their workplaces or while commuting. We are also looking at impacting students in government schools and institutions which do not have a single, well-maintained toilet within their premises; girls and women who have to change their diets out of the fear of safety while defecating in open, or who suffer from diseases due to unavailability of proper sanitary care; and the thousands of people who use unhygienic, poorly-maintained public toilets every day throughout the country.
