We provide a patented technology able to produce a safe, effective and certified fertiliser from recycling urine.

  • World Alliance Member
  • Featured Solution
  • Labelled Solution
Label Date May 12, 2023
From Switzerland
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 2 - Commercial Trial Small Scale

We use a patented technology to locally recycle human and livestock urine into a certified fertiliser. The solution creates a green alternative revenue source for large commercial buildings while taking part in the circular economy. It reduces the nutrient load on ground waters and wastewater treatment plants.

The Environmental Benefits

  • A 400 people building can recycle 511Kg of Nitrogen, and produce enough fertiliser to grow 18t of grain
  • Buildings recycling urine at the source save on average 1.5Kg of CO2 per M2/year
  • 1 Kg of grain fertilised with Aurin emits 175gr of CO2 less than with a conventional fertiliser
  • Synthetic fertiliser production emits 1.2% of global CO2 emissions, while human and animal excreta could replace 100% of that synthetic fertiliser

The Financial Benefits

  • Recycling urine in a building can see a return on investment in 15 years
  • Locally produced fertilisers cost the same than fertilisers produced far away
