Gent (Gand) [Ghent]. VOV The Place to Pee Technology Pilot

Complete

The Place to Pee portable bathroom in the Blaarmeersen was open to the public through September 2021. Nitrogen and phosphorus in collected urine were converted into fertilizer at an off-site facility. Local startup HYDROHM and international firm LAUFEN developed the technology to maximize material reuse while minimizing water waste. Gent's spearhead fund provides technical assistance and up to 40% of project costs for similar projects to encourage new tech ventures.
