Sustainability

Designing commercial toilets with sustainability in mind helps reduce environmental impact, lower operational costs, and support long-term efficiency. At service stations—where facilities experience high, continuous use—sustainable design is both environmentally responsible and economically beneficial.

Low-Flow Fixtures: Use dual-flush WCs, low-flow taps, and waterless or sensor-controlled urinals to reduce water consumption.

Sensor Controls: Automatic taps and flush systems prevent overuse and reduce water waste.

Greywater Recycling: Where possible, integrate systems to reuse water from hand basins for flushing toilets.

LED Lighting: Install long-life LED fittings with high energy efficiency ratings.

Smart Controls: Use occupancy sensors, daylight sensors, and timers to limit unnecessary energy use.

Efficient Ventilation: Specify energy-efficient extraction fans with automatic shutoff or variable-speed control.

Durable Finishes: Choose hardwearing, low-maintenance materials to reduce replacement frequency.

Recycled Content: Use materials with recycled content where possible (e.g. partitions, tiles, flooring).

Low-VOC Products: Select paints, adhesives, and sealants with low volatile organic compounds to improve air quality.

Modular Components: Design with modularity in mind to simplify repairs and reduce the need for full replacements.

Hand Drying: Use energy-efficient hand dryers or provide options for recycled paper towels with proper recycling bins.

Design for Longevity: Specify fixtures and fittings that are robust and built for high-traffic use to avoid premature failure.

Easy Access: Ensure services (e.g., pipework, electrical, drainage) are accessible for efficient repair without demolition.
