Death to the flushing toilet challenges traditional water-based sanitation, spotlighting freshwater shortages, and broken nutrient flows that cause serious ecosystem damage globally. It encourages readers to recognise waste as a valuable resource and to explore alternative, sustainable sanitation solutions.

This book includes expert articles by various contributors on topics such as the history of sanitation, nutrient flows, and circular waste economies. Edited and curated by Arja Renell, this book accompanies the exhibition Huussi Imagining the Future History of Sanitation that was presented at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
