Sustainable solutions in the bathroom space

No longer a passive player, the bathroom is a space that can actively help towards saving water, time and energy. In your quest for an energy-efficient bathroom, a simple, yet highly effective solution is a faucet equipped with Cold Start technology. With this smart innovation, the faucet’s default start position is set to cold water and the heating system is only activated when the handle is turned and hot water is needed, resulting in significant energy conservation. By avoiding the operation of the boiler until hot water is required, Cold Start technology also helps reduce CO₂ emission.

And, if you want to be even more efficient, try thermostatic faucets featuring Roca’s Quick Reaction® technology for instant access to warm water. In addition, Security 38° safety system prevents the temperature from exceeding 38 degrees, ensuring not only energy conservation but also added safety for you and your loved ones.

If you’re looking for efficient ways of saving water in the toilet, consider installing a dual flush cistern with an operating plate or a dual-flush push button allowing you to adapt the water volume according to your specific needs. Dual flush systems are a standard feature in most toilets and an effective way of reducing water consumption. The most efficient WCs consume as little as four and two litres for a full and partial flush respectively. Another water-saving solution for the bathroom is an integrated toilet with basin, like the award-winning W+W. This innovative all-in-one basin and WC effectively helps reduce your overall water consumption by leveraging water from the basin to flush the WC.

A central feature of smart bathroom solutions is the Roca Connect App. This user-friendly tool, available on any smart phone, allows you to keep track of your water consumption and energy costs. Connected to your bathroom products, this smart technology can also improve your daily bathroom routine with personalised control settings – think better personal hygiene and temperature-controlled showers.

Choosing household items that are designed to last a lifetime can make a real difference. Ceramics, for instance, is a durable and 100% recyclable material. It can be broken down and used in many other ways, extending its life beyond the bathroom. Adding a touch of the natural world with wood sourced from sustainable forests, and even recycled cork, not only brings you closer to nature, but gives you an environmentally friendly space.

Being mindful of the environment extends beyond our immediate surroundings. It also involves considering every aspect of the product we use, including their production and packaging processes. In a bid to reduce waste and single-use plastics, Roca has replaced these elements in their packaging with sustainable alternatives, like carboard. Furthermore, Roca demonstrates its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint by producing products in factories with the same region as their distribution to ensure that transportation-related emissions are minimized.
