Sustainability has moved beyond trend status—it’s now a necessity. As climate concerns rise and conscious consumers demand greener choices, industries are evolving to reduce their environmental impact. In the world of bathware, where functionality meets daily utility, eco-conscious innovation is not only possible—it’s critical.
At Watertec, we believe that great design and sustainability should go hand in hand. From the way we actively embrace renewable energy to designing products with renewable materials, every step is geared towards reducing our footprint while delivering world-class products. When you invest in a bathroom accessories set from Watertec, you’re not just choosing convenience and performance—you’re supporting practices that care for the planet.
The Need for Green Manufacturing in Bathware
The production of bathroom fixtures, fittings, and accessories involves raw material extraction, water usage, chemical treatments, and energy-intensive processes. These activities, if unchecked, contribute to pollution, deforestation, and carbon emissions.
Yet, the solution doesn’t lie in halting production—it lies in rethinking how we manufacture. Responsible material use, energy-efficient facilities, and waste minimization strategies make it possible to produce the finest bathroom pipe fittings and accessories, without compromising on sustainability.
Energy-Efficient Products
Water Efficiency (WEP-I Certified Products): Our range of water-efficient products include WEP-certified solutions. These are mindfully designed to conserve water and reduce consumption and provide up to 55% water savings, contributing to both environmental conservation and cost efficiency for our customers.
Sustainable Product Design
Eco-friendly Materials: Designing products with recyclable, biodegradable, or renewable materials helps reduce the product's environmental footprint over its lifecycle.
Use of NSF Approved Materials
POM (Polymer Bath Fittings): These are manufactured using high-quality materials that meet stringent NSF standards, ensuring durability and sustainability.
UPVC and CPVC Pipes: These are NSF 14, NSF 61, and NSF 372 approved, which meet the necessary standards for safe and sustainable plumbing solutions. These approvals guarantee that our products contribute to the health and safety of the communities we serve, while also supporting environmental sustainability.
Design for Disassembly: Encouraging designs that can be easily disassembled for recycling or repurposing after use.
By prioritizing recyclable and non-toxic materials, we not only reduce dependency on virgin resources but also promote healthier living spaces.
2. Going Green
At Watertec, we significantly invest in renewable energy, including the following:
Roof-Mounted Solar Panels: The installation of roof-mounted solar panels across our facilities not only reduces our dependency on non-renewable energy but also supports our commitment to lowering our carbon footprint – 16 % of the total power consumption.
Solar Captive Power Purchase: Our organization actively participates in solar captive power purchase agreements, allowing us to harness solar energy to meet a substantial portion of our energy needs, further advancing our sustainable energy goals -79% of the total power consumption.
Wind Energy Investments: In accordance with our renewable energy strategy, we have also embraced wind energy, generating clean, renewable power to reduce our reliance on traditional energy sources and mitigate environmental impact – 1% of the total power consumption
Energy-Efficient Technologies: Implementing energy-efficient systems, such as LED lighting, energy-efficient HVAC systems, BLDC Fans and advanced automation tools, helps reduce energy consumption in operations.
Technology for Sustainability Smart Automation: Using IoT and AI to optimize energy usage, reduce waste, and monitor environmental impacts in real-time – Industry 4.0 Injection moulding machines and traverse robots.
This not only improves operational efficiency but also significantly cuts down on energy consumption.
3. Standards and Certifications
We believe that responsible product creation of bathroom accessories set begins with the right environmental management and compliance systems. This is central to our philosophy.
ISO 14001 Certification: This certification demonstrates our adherence to international environmental standards, ensuring that we minimise our environmental footprint while continuously improving our operations' sustainability.
ISO 45001 Certification: This global standard ensures that we maintain a safe working environment for our teams while minimising risks associated with our operational processes.
5. Products Built to Last
One of the most overlooked aspects of sustainability is product lifespan. Watertec ensures all its bathroom pipe fittings and accessories undergo durability testing, including pressure, corrosion, and usage simulation, so they last for years.
Long-lasting products mean fewer replacements and less maintenance, less landfill contribution, and less energy used in manufacturing and shipping replacements. For plumbers and dealers, this translates to fewer complaints and greater customer satisfaction. For homeowners, it means peace of mind.
6. Employee Engagement and Community Involvement
Our community is at the heart of everything we do. We offer the following initiatives to drive sustainable practices, both for our employees and customers.
Employee Sustainability Programs: Encouraging and education employees about initiatives such as carpooling, reducing waste, or volunteering for environmental causes.
Community Partnerships: Businesses are partnering with local communities to support environmental education, conservation efforts, or social impact projects.
