www.ardex.co.uk Cistermiser calls for urgent action to curb everyday waste
With DEFRA placing resource effi ciency and water resilience at the heart of its latest policy agenda, Cistermiser is warning that millions of litres of drinking water are still being lost through avoidable leaks and poor washroom practices every day. The Department’s call for responsible resource management comes against the backdrop of mounting concern over water scarcity, rising utility costs and the environmental toll of wasted resources. Industry experts warn that without rapid change, parts of the UK could face signifi cant supply shortfalls within 20 years. Water effi ciency is also linked to economic growth and DEFRA is working closely with MHCLG to explore whether the Building Regulations 2010 could be amended to tighten water effi ciency standards. That is because DEFRA believes a failure to implement water demand management measures in response to water scarcity could result in over 61,000 houses not being built costing the economy £25 billion in this parliamentary term. Cistermiser’s product range, including intelligent urinal controls and leak prevention technologies, is already helping estates across the UK tackle unnecessary consumption. The business is now urging facilities managers, landlords and contractors to use DEFRA’s latest policy focus as a trigger for immediate review of water usage.
