RECYCLE YOUR URINE AND SAVE THE PLANET

On Gotland, the largest island in Sweden, fresh water is scarce. At the same time, residents are battling dangerous amounts of pollution from agriculture and sewer systems that causes harmful algal blooms in the surrounding Baltic Sea. These can kill fish and make people ill. To help solve this set of environmental challenges, the island is pinning its hopes on a single, unlikely substance that connects them: HUMAN URINE.

URINE RECYCLE AND RE-USE

Starting in 2021, a team of researchers began collaborating with a local company that rents out portable toilets. The goal is to collect more than 70,000 litres of urine over 3 years from waterless urinals and specialized toilets at several locations during the booming summer tourist season. The team is from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, which has spun off a company called Sanitation360.

Using a process that the researchers developed, they are drying the urine into concrete-like chunks that they hammer into a powder and press into fertilizer pellets that fit into standard farming equipment. A local farmer uses the fertilizer to grow barley that will go to a brewery to make ale — which, after consumption, could enter the cycle all over again.

The researchers aim to take urine reuse “beyond concept and into practice” on a large scale, says Prithvi Simha, a chemical-process engineer at the SLU and Sanitation360’s chief technology officer. The aim is to provide a model that regions around the world could follow. “The ambition is that everyone, everywhere, does this practice.”

WELCOME TO THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OF RECYCLED URINE. COULD FAECES BE NEXT?

YES!!

CRITICAL COMMENTARY

IT IS PROPOSED THAT THE UTILITY OF URINE RECYCLING UNDER EXTREME CONDITONS OF THE UNAVAILABIITY OF WATER AS IN A SPACECRAFT OR IN A WATER SCARCITY ISLAND IN SWEDEN, IS SOMETHING THAT APPLIES TO THE WORLD IN GENERAL.

THIS PROPOSAL HAS NO BASIS. THAT ENVIRONMENTALISM FINDS SUCH A BASIS IN THESE DATA SERVES AS EVIDENCE OF THE EXTREME BIAS IN ENVIRONMENTALISM AGAINST HUMAN ACTIVITY AND PERHAPS AGAINST HUMANS THEMSELVES.

THE CONTRADICTION OF ENVIRONMENTALISM IS THAT IT IS AN ANTI HUMAN MOVEMENT OF THE HUMANS. THIS MOVEMENT CAN BE AND HAS BEEN EXTRAPOLATED TO THE ANTICIPATION THAT THE HUMANS SHOULD VOLUNTEER TO BECOME EXTINCT AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ACT OF SAVING “THE ENVIRONMENT”.

THIS IS HOW FAR ECO WACKO WEIRDNESS CAN BE TAKEN AND HOW FAR IT HAS BEEN TAKEN.
