In unserer Kacke steckt ein Schatz – aber wie kommen wir ran? | PUR+

A huge festival, partying people, and... loads of full toilets! 🚽💩 What sounds truly disgusting to most is a real goldmine for science and agriculture. 👩‍🌾 Because our poop contains a valuable raw material: phosphorus! This is a fantastic fertilizer for agriculture, which is becoming increasingly scarce worldwide. Instead of simply flushing everything down the drain, special festival toilets collect visitors' waste in bins to extract this vital fertilizer. Eric is at the festival and helping with the big poop experiment. How does a pile of manure become clean fertilizer? Doesn't it smell awful? And how much phosphorus can Eric save? #environment #recycling #purplus Post from 2024. Would you have a problem using one of these festival toilets if it helps the environment?
