How Sewage Systems could be different



Powder could make cooking oil disposal easier

Hormones, antidepressants, steroids, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals etc. could be removed from drinking water

Treated sewage could provide water

Algae could become biofertilizer, bioplastic, pollution control (sewage and fertilizers), food / vitamins, fuel, fish and mushroom feed, and dyes/stabilizers

Urine / human waste could be used as large scale fertilizers

Phosphorous could be collected and used differently

Fertilizer and sewage runoff could be prevented to not cause ocean dead zones

Composting toilets could be available in areas lacking sanitation

Desertification could be limited with forests grown from wastewater

Fats, oil, and grease could be diverted from sewer systems

Foam could be used instead of wet wipes

Local governments could be encouraged and enabled to construct sewage systems

Sewage could be converted into potable water and electricity

Sewer systems could use real-time monitoring and control "smart valve" technology
