Putting sustainability front and centre


Responding to clients’ demand for more sustainable bathrooms, Roca is leading the way with the latest ‘green’ thinking


BATHROOM MANUFACTURING HAS become more sustainable over recent years and Roca has remained at the forefront of sustainable design by creating products that conserve water and protect the environment.


Water saving developments One of the latest innovations to hit the market are rimless toilets. The box rim has been eliminated, making the pan much easier to clean and eliminating areas in which bacteria can accumulate. The shape of the pan has also been redesigned, allowing us to flush efficiently with as little as a 4/2L dual flush cistern. Considering that the average flush for new toilets is between 4L and 6L, a product like this can help to save considerable amounts of water. Water saving technology can also be found in many brassware solutions. For example, Cold Start technology ensures water is only heated when it is required. Traditionally, when you turn on a tap, the water will be warm. This will automatically trigger the boiler, which can be expensive and wasteful, especially in a home where multigenerational families use water at different times.


Roca also has an exclusive piece of


technology in its ECO disc cartridge, which helps to save water and energy. As the tap handle is raised, a slight resistance is


reached at 50% of the water flow and lifting beyond this bite point produces a full flow. The cartridge includes a temperature limiter which can be set at installation to eliminate the risk of scalding.


Innovation and product development are


making significant headway in delivering greater water savings. For instance, the ground-breaking W+W from Roca uses waste water from the basin to fill the toilet cistern, thereby reducing water usage by up to 25% compared to a standard 6/3 litre dual-flush toilet. The W+W basin has two wastes – the basin waste and one further down the waste pipe. The user has the option of either diverting it to the mains or recycling it by storing it in the cistern ready for the next flush.


Responsibility


As well as delivering bathroom solutions that save water and reduce wastage, Roca actively works to improve sanitation and increase access to water across the world. Created in 2010, the We Are Water Foundation is a Roca initiative which reinforces the brand’s historic engagement with society. On a planet with about 768 million people without access to drinking water and 2.7 billion without basic sanitation infrastructure, the Foundation aims to achieve two main objectives. First, to contribute to the spread of a new culture of

water which is more caring, just, and sustainable, and second, to help the world’s poorest and those with major water and sanitation problems.


The vision for the We Are Water Foundation is to continue growing worldwide, especially in countries where the Roca Group can, through its activities, participate more intensively to identify collaboration projects and contribute to the solution for water and sanitation problems.


Sustainable manufacturing Roca knows that how its products are produced is important and looks at the production processes at its factory, as well as the development of its products and social activities of the company. Roca has two core goals, to cut CO2 emissions and to manage waste-free industrial processes via its Zero Waste Programme.
