SUSTAINABILITY
Hansgrohe - Innovation for Sustainability S
arah Evans, Head of Product Marketing at Hansgrohe UK looks at what is involved in achieving its vision of a bathroom that uses 90% less water and energy than today’s spaces to help tackle the current and upcoming water and energy crisis.
To rethink bathroom culture, an understanding of what the bathroom stands for today and the habits that will be the future drivers of sustainable bathrooms, is vital.
Hansgrohe conducted qualitative analysis with various experts and pioneers from the fields of sustainability, health, and architecture to help shed light on sustainable bathroom rituals from different perspectives. These personal interviews have formed the basis of Hansgrohe’s Green
Vision alongside four key areas of insight: Beyond Water: In the bathroom, mental needs are satisfied through resource-intensive rituals. In future, we will need to create a place that focuses on mental hygiene and enables regeneration whilst conserving resources.
Conscious Hygiene: Convenient hygiene rituals are firmly anchored in everyday life; however, they often consume large amounts of water. New, simple routines that incorporate water-saving will not only help the environment, but also keep skin healthy.
Warm Nest: The physical and emotional need for warmth in the bathroom is something we’re all familiar with. However, today’s bathrooms can be very cold due to the choice of colours and materials, compounded with energy-intensive
heating and high-level hot water consumption. A place of well-being that provides a feeling of warmth and security, with minimal energy consumption is needed.
Empowering Knowledge: Even people who l ive their lives with the environment in mind often have no awareness of their concrete resource consumption. To enable a sustainable change in behaviour, water consumption must be made tangible.
Together with the Stuttgart-based design and innovation studio PHOENIX, Hansgrohe has developed a bathroom that is in harmony with humans and nature - which will be showcased at ISH 2023.
