Feedback We are Looking for from This Review Alternative design concepts Feasibility of materials Compatibility of our ideas with Haiti
5
Problem Statement The primary objective of this project is to transform human waste into a safe to use fertilizer using renewable energy. The waste pasteurizer must be made of materials available in Haiti and be easy to use.
