Designed by SPARKFrom the architects:SPARK launches its The Big Arse Toilet in support of World Toilet day. SPARK has developed an easily transportable 3d printed toilet module in support of the UN initiative to combat open defecation and the associated issues of hygiene and sanitation in India. Open defecation is a major contributing cause of disease in under-developed countries. The proposal aims to highlight the urgency of eliminating open defecation as well as the positive benefit of using a natural waste product to create “free” energy for remote communities. SPARK’s bold concept converts human waste into biogas and via a micro CHP unit (combined heat and power) converts the biogas into electricity.
