P-BANK

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.

COLLECT

In the donor rooms you can comfortably donate in a no-mix toilet or a waterless urinal.

RECOVER

While washing hands, you can peek into the recovery lab. A process of chemical reactions recovers P from Pee safely and hygienically. turk turbanli amator resimler top

RE-USE

Leaving the P-Bank you’ll discover that the recovered P can be successfully reused as an alternative for mined Phosphorus. The world of amateur digital photography has seen

Turk Turbanli Amator Resimler Top Guide

The world of amateur digital photography has seen a significant surge in interest, particularly within specific cultural and stylistic niches. One such area that consistently draws attention is the amateur photography of Turkish women wearing headscarves, often referred to under the umbrella of Turkish turban style. This visual trend represents a unique intersection of traditional modesty, modern fashion, and the democratization of photography through social media and personal devices.

The "amateur" aspect of this trend is what many find compelling. Unlike professional studio sessions with high-end lighting and post-production, amateur photos capture moments of daily life. They offer a sense of authenticity and relatability that polished commercial photography often lacks. These images frequently highlight the intricate ways the turban is styled—ranging from simple, practical wraps for daily errands to elaborate, jeweled arrangements for weddings and celebrations.

PROJECT

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.
