The workshop set out to provide orientation for the feasibility of implementing circular sanitation solutions in the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region (MABR). Previous to the workshop I engaged critical actors along the potential human nutrient cycle. Through semi-structured interviews and life-prototyping of soft systems models we identified barriers and pathways to establishing water-free sanitation with resource recovery (circular sanitation) on a regional scale on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. The outcome are the identification of three Starting Points for Action and one Impact Indicator for evaluating the progress.
