Human Waste System

Dublin Institute of Technology Fine Art year one, Eoin Hughes Photography Project on Human Systems. Human Waste: Human waste may refer to human byproducts of digestion, such as faeces and urine. Human waste is a biowaste, capable of self-replication and harmful or potentially harmful to other living organisms.

But it may also refer to other waste types produced by humans.

"Wastes are materials that are not prime products (that is products produced for the market) for which the generator has no further use in terms of his/her own purposes of production, transformation or consumption, and of which he/she wants to dispose. Wastes may be generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, and other human activities. Residuals recycled or reused at the place of generation are excluded."

"Any human activity that absorbs resources but creates no value."
