Most of the human excreta that is collected in on-site sanitation systems worldwide is not treated and recycled. This is unfortunate because excreta contain plant-essential nutrients, water, and energy that can be recovered. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the composition of human faeces, show how faeces can be collected separate from the rest of the wastewater by source separation, and evaluate different technologies that can produce value-added products that retain the nutrients, energy, and water present in source-separated human faeces.
