Reposted from #nuelarchitects Amsterdam's innovative approach to waste management and sustainable agriculture involves the installation of pee-collecting urinals across the city, orchestrated by the utilities company Waternet. Developers state "They plan on building more for women and children for public display". These urinals serve a dual purpose by not only addressing the challenge of outdoor urine streams in urban areas but also contributing to the production of eco-friendly fertilizer. The collected urine undergoes a process at a recovery plant, where phosphorus, a vital nutrient for plant growth, is extracted and transformed into struvite fertilizer. This environmentally conscious initiative aims to reduce dependence on finite phosphate rock reserves, emphasizing the renewable nature of phosphorus present in urine. By channeling biological processes that have sustained human life for millennia, Waternet's project not only tackles sanitation concerns but also highlights the potential of individual contributions to sustainable agriculture, with one person's urine providing nutrients to grow food for themselves and even meet a significant portion of another person's dietary needs.#nuelarchitects 🎥 Source: [Instagram | #mad.travel] Don’t forget to: ♡ ㅤ  ❍ ㅤ ㅤ ⎙ㅤ ㅤ  ⌲ like comment    save     share Follow #nuelarchitects for more updates! #architecture #arch #archviz #archlovers #architect #landscapephotography #landscapelovers #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #instagram #garden #lovers #love #gardendesign #archilovers #archilovers #architecturephotography #archdaily #architecturelovers #architectural #archidaily #archdigest #architecturedesing #design #InteriorDesign #homedesing #graphicdesing #landscape
