Find us by looking for a toilet – leave as a proud P Donor
Today’s agriculture depends on industrial fertilizers containing P, Phosphorus. This non-renewable is currently still obtained from mined Phosphate Rock which is depleting quickly. To secure our future food supplies we need to start to recover P now.
The P-BANK is a public toilet that aims to close the P-cycle. The sanitation system separates Pee from the waste water which simplifies nutrient recovery. This happens directly in the P-BANK. The recovered P is re-used as fertilizer in the P-BANK garden.
: Devices should be cleaned before and after every use using warm water and mild, unscented soap or a specialized cleanser.
: Highly durable, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean.
Proper care extends the life of wellness products and ensures personal health. Standard practices include:
: Storing items in a cool, dry place inside a breathable fabric pouch helps prevent dust accumulation and material degradation.
Always inspect devices for any signs of wear, such as cracks or peeling, before use. If a device has electronic components, ensuring it is fully charged and the waterproof seals are intact is necessary for safe operation.
: Non-porous and compatible with all types of lubricants.
: Using water-based lubricants is generally recommended, as silicone-based lubricants can damage the surface of silicone products. Safety Considerations
It is important to look for non-porous materials. These are easier to sanitize and do not harbor bacteria. Common body-safe materials include:

In 2018 the Bauhaus University Weimar and WERKHAUS destinature received funding from the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU) to develop the first P-BANK. The concept was developed by Anniek Vetter and Sylvia Debit during a semester project at the Bauhaus University Weimar led by Prof. Jörg Londong back in to 2013.
The P-BANK was first used for several months during the 100th anniversary year of Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany 2019. Later that year the P-BANK was at the Tiny Living Festival. The project was presented at the Antenna platform during the Dutch Design Week 2019.
WERKHAUS destinature built the mobile P-Bank from sustainable materials, based on the service and communication designed by Debit and Vetter, including donor-rooms containing the toilet safe! sponsored by Laufen. The recovering system is developed by the B.is, the department of urban water management and sanitation of the Bauhaus University Weimar led by Prof. Jörg Londong, with the support of Vuna and Eawag. Besides consulting Goldeimer supports getting the story and the out there!
