Turning Waste Into Affordable Fertiliser for Smallholder Farmers
EcoNutrientHub recovers nutrients from sanitation waste to produce EcoPlus — a safe, affordable, liquid organic fertiliser that improves soil health, food security, and water protection.
What We Do
Our integrated approach combines traditional farming knowledge with sustainable waste management innovation.
Safe collection and storage of urine from public and community toilets using proven sanitation protocols.
Stabilised, liquid organic fertiliser specially formulated for the needs of smallholder farmers across Cameroon.
Dashboard and SMS notifications that inform farmers when their fertiliser is ready for collection and use.

Safety Measures
We prioritize safety at every step of our production process
We ensure that collection, culture, and even bottling is done with nitrile gloves, FP3 masks, goggles, and overalls to avoid contamination from spillage or physical contact with the urine or fertiva (end product).
Culture is done in an environment free of occupation by regular individuals, ensuring a sterile and safe production process.
Our Sustainability & Climate Impact
Creating meaningful change for farmers, communities, and the environment
EcoPlus provides essential nutrients that enhance soil structure and significantly increase agricultural productivity.
By safely capturing and processing waste nutrients, we prevent contamination of groundwater and surface water sources.
Our system creates dignified employment opportunities for young people in waste collection and nutrient processing.
We close the nutrient loop by converting waste into valuable fertiliser, creating a sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
