Global Sanitation Challenge
In many developing urban areas, there is a lack of sewer and water distribution networks due to the prohibitively high costs. Water scarcity and infrastructure expenses make widespread sewer systems unfeasible in much of the world.
The Innovation
Between 2019 - 2022, Opero Services partnered with Factor E to test the Honey Dipper, a revolutionary waterless toilet that incrementally dehydrates and treats waste on-site.
Waterless Operation
Innovative design eliminates the need for water, making it perfect for water-scarce regions.
On-Site Treatment
Treats waste directly on-site, eliminating the need for transportation and downstream infrastructure.
Efficient Design
Conveyor belt system ensures continuous waste processing and dehydration.
