This country has the largest number of people – more than 600 million – still defecating in the open, leading to the outbreak of diseases like diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and hepatitis A, etc. Till now in many of the Indian villages, slums, rural areas and construction sites people do not have any access to clean and hygienic toilets and so they are compelled to defecate in the open. Unhygienic pub
lic toilets and latrines threaten the health of women, who are prone to reproductive tract infections caused by poor sanitation. Even Girl Child education is also suffering a lot due to the non availability of proper toilets and sanitation facilities in rural schools. Stone India Ltd has come up with the solution to the national scourge of open defecation and manual scavenging with “ENBIOLET"- the aerobic Biological toilet. The R&D team has spent 35000 man hours in research to develop the Biological Toilet in which human waste is completely digested by the aerobic bio media within the bio digester tank and converted into non toxic, non contaminating neutral water and traces of gas. There is no chance of solid waste being discharged onto the ground. This will revolutionize hygiene and sanitation in the country.
