P-BANK

Find us by looking for a toilet – leave as a proud P Donor

Today’s agriculture depends on industrial fertilizers containing P, Phosphorus. This non-renewable is currently still obtained from mined Phosphate Rock which is depleting quickly. To secure our future food supplies we need to start to recover P now.

The P-BANK is a public toilet that aims to close the P-cycle. The sanitation system separates Pee from the waste water which simplifies nutrient recovery. This happens directly in the P-BANK. The recovered P is re-used as fertilizer in the P-BANK garden.

COLLECT

In the donor rooms you can comfortably donate in a no-mix toilet or a waterless urinal.

RECOVER

While washing hands, you can peek into the recovery lab. A process of chemical reactions recovers P from Pee safely and hygienically. Acpi Mtc0303 Driver for Windows 7

RE-USE

Leaving the P-Bank you’ll discover that the recovered P can be successfully reused as an alternative for mined Phosphorus. While it is fixable with manual driver installation,

Acpi Mtc0303 Driver For Windows 7 Apr 2026

For enthusiasts and retro-computing fans, force-installing a Synaptics driver remains the most reliable workaround. If you have a specific laptop model where the ACPI MTC0303 persists even after driver installation, check your BIOS settings for “Touchpad” or “Internal Pointing Device” and ensure it is set to “Automatic” or “Enabled.”

However, ignoring it means no multi-finger gestures, no palm rejection, and potentially higher CPU usage as Windows constantly polls the unrecognized device. The ACPI MTC0303 driver problem on Windows 7 is a classic case of hardware being newer than the operating system. While it is fixable with manual driver installation, the increasing difficulty of finding signed, working Windows 7 drivers for post-2015 hardware suggests that if you rely heavily on the touchpad, upgrading to Windows 10 or 11 is the more sustainable long-term solution.

Thus, the driver issue is (and older). Is It Safe to Ignore? If you don’t use the laptop’s built-in touchpad (e.g., you always use an external USB mouse), you can safely disable the device in Device Manager. It will not affect the keyboard, USB ports, or system stability.

PROJECT

In 2018 the Bauhaus University Weimar and WERKHAUS destinature received funding from the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU) to develop the first P-BANK. The concept was developed by Anniek Vetter and Sylvia Debit during a semester project at the Bauhaus University Weimar led by Prof. Jörg Londong back in to 2013.
The P-BANK was first used for several months during the 100th anniversary year of Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany 2019. Later that year the P-BANK was at the Tiny Living Festival. The project was presented at the Antenna platform during the Dutch Design Week 2019.
WERKHAUS destinature built the mobile P-Bank from sustainable materials, based on the service and communication designed by Debit and Vetter, including donor-rooms containing the toilet safe! sponsored by Laufen. The recovering system is developed by the B.is, the department of urban water management and sanitation of the Bauhaus University Weimar led by Prof. Jörg Londong, with the support of Vuna and Eawag. Besides consulting Goldeimer supports getting the story and the out there!
