A value proposition: Resource recovery from faecal sludge-Can it be the driver for improved sanitation?

- Evidence is presented for financial incentive of resource recovery from faecal sludge.
- Possibilities include fuel, protein, building materials and soil conditioner.
- Soil amendments potentially do not generate as much revenue as energy production.
- Local solutions need to be determined, as demands vary significantly among locations.
- Investment in at-scale research is required to demonstrate and replicate this potential.
