What Potential is there for Container Based Sanitation and the Social Enterprise in Urban Emergencies?

Traditional alternatives have included: lined pit latrines, raised latrines and urine diverting dry toilets (UDDTs). These alternatives might be suitable in addressing the unfavourable ground conditions, but are not necessarily able to address the constraints encountered in the urban environment. For this reason agencies have started to take a closer look at some of the newer container based sanitation (CBS) approaches being developed by social enterprises (SEs), research institutions and the private sector.
