Sustainable Sanitation Solutions: RCC Toilets vs. Nest-In's Modular Toilets
The United Nations has set Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2 to provide access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all, ending open defecation and focusing on the requirements of women, girls, and those in vulnerable situations by 2030. When it comes to public sanitation, the choice between traditional Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) toilets and innovative modular sanitation solutions from Tata Steel Nest-In can make a significant difference. In this comparison, we will explore why Nest-In’s modular toilets emerge as a superior, end-to-end sanitation solution for communities seeking sustainable and durable toilet options.
About Traditional RCC Toilets
RCC toilets are built with materials like cement, bricks, sand, and aggregates, with steel reinforcements to provide durability. The main advantages of RCC toilets are:
- They are sturdy.
- They can withstand heavy usage.
However, there are also some significant disadvantages:
- Due to the nature of their construction process, it is challenging to build RCC toilets in terrains that are remote, hilly, or unstable. They require deep foundations, which is difficult to set up in such terrain. Their construction process is also heavily dependent on labour, heavy machinery, transportation, and external weather conditions.
- They need to be maintained regularly to avoid water leakage problems, growth of mould and rust, clogging of pipes, peeling of paint and plaster, and more.
Nest-In’s Modular Sanitation Solutions
Nest-In’s modular toilets, EzyNest & Smart EzyNest, are portable public toilets that offer a sustainable and durable solution. These modular units are built and assembled entirely in a factory-controlled environment, and are transported to the final site only for installation and electrical and plumbing connections. The construction process of these plug-and-play sanitation solutions uses 48% less fresh water and 65% less material sources, generates minimal waste, and does not require extensive resources for heavy machinery, transportation, and labour as compared to RCC toilets. The units are made of recyclable steel, are thermally insulated to suit various weather conditions, and require minimal maintenance.
Easy Customisation & Deployment in Remote Locations
A recent government survey revealed that 21% of rural households in India need access to a toilet, a shared facility for the building, or a community toilet. Nest-In’s EzyNest & Smart EzyNest solutions are well-suited for public sanitation needs. They are portable and can be easily constructed in remote areas and harsh terrains where building RCC toilets is difficult. They can be installed 2x faster than RCC toilets, so sanitation solutions can be rapidly deployed in underserved areas. This helps achieve the goals of the Swachh Bharat Mission and improve public health outcomes.
EzyNest and Smart EzyNest toilets stand out because they are versatile and customisable. They can be adjusted to fit the specific needs of various communities. They can have disability-friendly features and innovative technologies for waste management. This way, every community can get a toilet that works for them.
