Nigel Codman from our partners at Novaloo explains to us how businesses can save money on water expenditure. He gives us some helpful figures to understand the importance of decreasing our commercial water usage as part of our green business practice to help save the planet.
Let’s start with a fact:
- Only 3% of the world’s water is drinking water. We use more and more of it daily, and every time we use a toilet, we flush away vast amounts of this scarce resource.
Fact number 2
- 48% of the water in commercial premises is flushed down toilets, at considerable costs.
Water isn’t just our most precious natural resource – it’s expensive. Each flush uses an average of 9L of water – and for many organisations, it’s a significant cost.
Our partner NovaLoo helps businesses across the UK to slash water bills and their environmental impact – using the unique Propelair toilet system that reduces water usage to just 1.5L per flush. Toilet technology hasn’t progressed in more than a century. Propelair changes that; with a unique system that uses just 1.5L water per flush, whilst delivering real hygiene, performance, and cost benefits.
The UK Water industry in its 2050 water Innovation Strategy wants to sustainably reduce water consumption through new innovations
The last year has highlighted how organisations want to build back better. And here is an innovation that can help your business do that. The Propelair toilet is already in use by forward-thinking cost-conscious organisations across the UK. From Barclaycard and Thames Water, to Kings College London and The Princess Alexandra Hospital; businesses in every industry are reaping the real-world benefits of lower water usage.
And to add to an already strong business case, it is far more hygienic. The Propelair toilet reduces aerolised germs by up to 95% helping you to make your site safer for staff and visitors alike.
Propelair toilets have already saved over 470 million litres of water, and that sustainable leap has been achieved with very fast paybacks.
Saving the planet whilst paying for itself very quickly and hygienically seems like an important step to take
Since 2020, companies have experienced a 25% increase in water demands. This is due to necessary processes such as increased hand-washing. But the subsequent increased cost of this on your expenditure quickly adds up. Decreasing your commercial water usage is an adaptable way to save money in the current climate.
So I am sure you would welcome the opportunity for us to introduce our partners Novaloo to you; they can create with you a business case relative to your sites and they can even aid in providing capital to achieve the savings.
