Sustainability in your bathroom

Green living is hot and happening in interior design. Sustainable living is therefore increasingly receiving attention when certain purchasing decisions are made for your interior. After all, everyone wants to contribute to a better and greener environment that is burdened as little as possible. By using recyclable materials and environmentally friendly bathroom accessories you can quickly make a difference. We will give you some tips to make your bathroom greener and more sustainable.

Short showers

Those who shower shorter, not only use less water, but also have a lot less heating costs. By showering two minutes faster every day, you save no less than 25% on your energy bill for the bathroom. A small change with a big financial benefit!

Wooden bathroom furniture

Choosing sustainable materials in your bathroom is an easy step towards environmental friendliness and sustainability. Choose beautiful wooden furniture, accents and finishes that are made in a fair way and preferably come from a local player. In this way you also contribute to a better environment.

A green toilet

You go to the toilet several times a day, just like your family members. In this way, a lot of water is lost when flushing. It becomes more economical and sustainable by choosing a selection button when installing your sanitary facilities. For example, you can opt for a small or large water flush and a possible flush interruption. Much more environmentally friendly and kind to your water bill.

Thermostats and recovery systems

Where ordinary faucets use quite a bit of water to obtain the ideal shower temperature, thermostatic faucets immediately ensure the right temperature. You quickly save more than 30% water because your shower or faucet does not have to run hot immediately before you have the right temperature available. Not a fan of a thermostat, then it is best to invest in a recovery system. Water that washes away in the shower is recycled in this way: warm water that washes away is used to keep cold water at the right temperature.

Smart taps

Nowadays we see a lot of families increasingly using smart faucets. Never heard of it? Well, smart faucets have a water saving mode that reduces water consumption by half. After all, you cannot open these taps completely in one movement, which results in a fuller jet with less water. Ideal when you want to consume less.
