Waste can build up in pits or tanks leaving the poorest and most isolated with a growing volume of sludge that has become a health and env ironmental timebomb.\n\nPoor sanitation results in death and disease. It a lso costs the global economy an estimated US$223 billion a year through lost work time. And it also comes with a social cost\, entrenching prejudi ces such as the stigmatization of the Dalit caste in India as the country ’s toilet emptiers.\n\nIf the world is to achieve the UN’s goal of pr oviding adequate sanitation and ending open defecation worldwide in the n ext 10 years\, the faecal waste crisis must be addressed in a systematic w ay using fresh thinking.\n\nFor World Toilet Day 2020 we have pulled toget her recent stories and examples of IWMI research that aim to reduce the wa ste burden with applied technologies\, business models promoting a waste-b ased circular economy and policies that support public-private partnership s.\n\n[/td_block_text_with_title][/vc_column][vc_column width="5"][vc_empt y_space height="110px"][td_block_text_with_title]\n\n[caption id="attachme nt_40197" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] Pit latrine emptiers in Bangla desh collect and transport human waste to a site where it is processed int o fertiliser.
