Ecosan design- A reversible squatting washing pan

Indian users of ecosan typically are squatters/washers especially in rural India (as opposed to sitters/wipers the trend in urban India). The design of the Ecosan pan therefore has to be such that it can be flipped around and 2 vaults used alternately with just one pan. Women who wear Sarees, the traditional Indian dress, also find it easier to shift back for the washing ablutions than to move sideways.
Chitra Vishwanath, an Architect who designs ecological buildings, has this alternate design for the pan and the toilet. Ecosan needs more women in the movement as designers, as policy makers, as users.
The pan is now being made by N-Fibro a Bangalore based Fibre reinforced plastic manufacturer produces these pans.
