Water efficiency is often discussed in abstract terms, but its real value becomes clear when long-term data is applied. By looking back over our purchasing history and applying conservative, widely accepted assumptions, we can estimate the scale of water, financial and carbon savings delivered through the waterless urinals we have supplied since our earliest days.
The impact we have made with waterless urinals: water, cost and carbon savings over time Read More »

England is running out of water. Projections warn of a daily shortfall of 5 billion litres by 2055, equivalent to a third of current supply. This is being driven by climate change, population growth, and ageing infrastructure — all of which put unprecedented pressure on an already fragile system.
