With urbanisation accelerating and 9.8 billion people to sustain by 2050, the world must address mounting pressures on waste, energy, climate, and food systems. At Safisana, we turn these challenges into an opportunity—transforming human and organic waste into renewable energy and eco-friendly organic fertilizer, tackling multiple challenges with a single solution.
Our Model
A Scalable and Financially Sustainable Circular Solution that turns Waste into Value
We collect fecal sludge from public toilets and organic waste from local markets and businesses.
Our biodigester transforms these two inputs into renewable natural gas and electricity, to power local communities.
The residual waste is further processed into organic fertilizer, sold to farmers.
What we do
for Communities
Our model offers opportunities to improve the direct living environment of local communities in non-sewered, urban areas. One recycling plant can serve large communities, generating social, economic and environmental impact.
What we do
for Governments & Utilities
Our waste recycling plant is a cost-efficient, all-in-one solution for the sustainable treatment of wastewater, solid organic waste, and fecal sludge. Our holistic model provides end-to-end services, ranging from lease contracts and concessions to operate as a full utility service, to tailored contracts on the basis of DBFOT.
What we do
for Industries
Our circular model offers wastewater and food processing industries a low-cost solution for residual waste and wastewater, that meets Sustainable Development Goals and corporate social responsibility policies.

Our Recycling Plant
The First Waste-to-Resource Plant in West Africa
In 2017, we opened our first recycling plant in Ashaiman, Ghana, with the support of the African Development Bank, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and private funds.
Today, the plant operates as an economically stable, locally managed company - run by a team of over 30 highly skilled local specialists.
The Ashaiman plant now serves as our blueprint for replication.
