Bio-toilets - Sustainable Solution to India’s Sanitation Challenge
Specially-designed multi-chambered bio-tank treats human waste at source.
Banka BioLoo provides eco-friendly and sustainable solutions for sanitation in rural, urban and peri-urban areas. Our bio-toilets (or bioloos) treat human waste using bacterial culture, which eliminates the need for excreta disposal, transport and treatment.
The system disposes human waste:
• in 100% eco-friendly manner
• saves energy
• conserves water
• produces biogas
Banka BioLoo solutions address the following customer needs/pain points:
• Meet the need for basic, easy-to-install and hygienic human waste disposal mechanism in areas with no infrastructural facilities, such as sewage treatment plants
• Address the need for a cheaper and easy-to-operate alternative to the traditional waste disposal system
Bio-tank is a specially designed multi-chambered pre-fabricated tank. The human waste is collected in the chambers and is degraded by bio-digester bacteria.
