Each culture has its own architectural characteristics, so no \u2018one size fits all\u2019. This project required a deep analysis of Mexican\u2019s standard home building regulations. We identified that all Mexican houses have an accessible distribution box in the waste water pipe outside the house, in the back or front patio; all work with passive systems, using gravity only.<\/p><p>A passive system for recollection was designed to fit into the distribution box; for it physicians and health experts were also consulted, in order to understand the health risks of collecting and moving faecal waste. Prototypes were built and tested, you can see some videos here. The final solution is a smart business model, where the \u2018customer\u2019 is offered to receive the service of collecting their faecal waste, guaranteed without any visual or odour inconveniences, and without any health risks. In return for this free service, customers will receive a discount in their electricity bill. Specific wearable devices and vehicle equipment were designed for this purpose.<\/p><p>Laws of generation and sale of electricity in Mexico prohibit individuals from performing these tasks. It can only be generated and \u2018injected\u2019 into the general network, having as a result a discount in your bill. Desbio uses the faecal waste to generate electricity by burning the methane produced in bio-digesters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d0e5882\" data-id=\"5d0e5882\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In many cities of the world human faecal and urinary waste are not properly treated.
