Project implementers, practitioners and researchers within the areas of urban and rural ecological and sustainable sanitation, organic waste management and agricultural reuse are invited to share experiences and best practices at this conference in Erdos, China. The conference will also showcase the new Erdos ecotown. The Government of Dongsheng District of the Erdos Municipality together with the EcoSanRes Programme of the Stockholm Environment Institute has managed the development of a new ecotown for 3,000 inhabitants using sustainable sanitation and solid waste management practises. The ecotown, now nearing completion, has been built by Daxing Estates Company. This is the largest urban project of its kind in China and when fully operational, all fractions of waste from the households will be collected and treated onsite using an ecostation and greywater treatment plant. The organic products and water will be reused in agriculture.
