Nest-In, A Turnkey Construction Solution from TATA Steel
The United Nations has set Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2, to provide access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all, ending open defecation and focusing on the requirements of women, girls, and those in vulnerable situations by 2030. When it comes to public sanitation, the choice of method of construction of a toilet, between traditional Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) toilets and innovative modular sanitation solutions from Tata Steel Nest-In can make a significant difference.????
Traditional Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) Toilets??
While RCC toilets have been widely used for public sanitation, they come with several limitations. Constructed using cement, bricks, sand, and steel reinforcements, these toilets are durable and able to withstand heavy usage. However, their process of construction poses significant challenges, particularly in remote, hilly, or unstable terrains where deep foundations are difficult to establish. The process relies heavily on labour, heavy machinery, transportation, and favourable weather conditions, making it less feasible in certain areas.??
Nest-In’s Modular Sanitation Solutions??
Nest-In’s modular toilets are plug-and-play toilets that offer a sustainable and durable solution. These modular units are manufactured in a factory-controlled environment and are transported to the final site for installation and electrical and plumbing connections. These plug-and-play sanitation solutions use 48% less fresh water and 65% fewer material sources, generate minimal waste, and do not require extensive resources for heavy machinery, transportation, and labour as compared to RCC toilets. Additionally, these units are thermally insulated to provide a cool and comfortable environment inside, and they require minimal maintenance.??

Nest-In’s modular toilets are well-suited for public sanitation needs. They are portable and can be easily constructed in remote areas and harsh terrains where building RCC toilets is difficult. They can be installed much faster than RCC toilets, so sanitation solutions can be rapidly deployed in underserved areas.???
Nest-In's sanitation solutions are versatile, customisable and cater to diverse community needs with features like disability-friendly designs and advanced waste management systems. Nest-In's smart toilet model further integrates self-cleaning features, clear signage, and voice messages for users. It is designed for high-traffic areas such as tourist spots, airports, railway stations, and smart cities to ensure a hygienic and user-friendly experience.??
In comparison to RCC toilets, Nest-In’s modular sanitation solutions not only support sustainability but also align with public health goals, bridging the sanitation gap in rural and urban India.?
