Abstract: The major challenging sectors in the world. Throughout the world, an estimated 2.4 billion people lack basic sanitation (more than 32%  of the world?s population). Sanitation comprises the facilities for human waste mainly Feces and Urine. Sanitation became the human  right under which people not only have a right to a hygienic toilet but also poses the right not to be suffered from unmanaged fecal and  urinal waste. Safe sanitation is the essential foundation of a comfortable, dignified, and healthy life in homes, schools, workplaces,  health facilities and public spaces. On-site sanitation was more common in rural areas than in urban areas. The Phyto-Pee-Khad is a  compact, detachable, portable, mobile, and economical system consisting of three units for phyto-pee treatment and resource recovery  as nutrients from urine waste. The first one is a urine collection system that collects urine through a newly designed urinal pot. A  distributor is attached at the outlet of the urine collection system which spread urine uniformly in the treatment system. The second  unit is a phyto-bed, where plants and creepers are attached for the process of phytoremediation of urine, which treats the urine before  it disposes and decrease the nutrient loads on domestic wastewater. It also provides a green wall along the Phyto-Pee-Khad for privacy  and aesthetics. The third unit is the urine absorbent unit, which utilizes nitrogen and phosphorous of urine and converts them into  fertilizer.
