Where to find Ecosan in the Philippines

Ecosan made of Nipa & Sawali

In the Philippines, ecosan is becoming a by-word among sanitation practitioners and advocates. Ecosan was first introduced by the Center for Advanced Philippine Studies (CAPS) in a pilot scale in Tingloy, Batangas at the beginning of the new millenium. Since then, several programs and intitiatives were pursued. Successful projects under the Integrated Support for Sustainable Urban Environment (ISSUE) supported by WASTE of the Netherlands through CAPS and the Philippine-German Cooperation, Water Program towards an Integrated Water Resources Managment implemented ecosan technology in various places in the Philippines.

The ecosan as a concept and practical solution is now gaining public acceptance. Ecosan projects implemented various areas can be found in --
