The News Minute | November 25, 2014 | 01:36 pm IST Ever wondered what use can human poop be put into? In isolation, poop in connection to anything may not sound a good idea, but it turns out human waste is not really a 'waste' after all. Touted as the first bio-bus in the UK, the A4 service running from Bristol to Bath runs on human poop and food waste. The 40-seater bio-bus can travel up to 300 km on a single tank of gas, 'which takes the annual waste of around five people to produce', states GENeco's website. GENeco is the organisation that runs the sewage treatment plant producing the fuel for the bus.

Around 10,000 customers are expected to use the bio-bus service each month. People always ask - does the #BioBus smell? No, but it is powered by gas generated from sewage & food waste @WRAP_UK pic.twitter.com/DgIe8ws9Cp— GENeco (@ukgeneco) November 24, 2014Watch this video by AJ+
