Green Bathroom: novelties of ISH digital 2021
The
Green Bathroom is an evergreen that’s playing an increasingly important role
for the bathroom sector. private home owners are more and more mindful
of ensuring a positive environmental footprint and increasingly demanding a
“green” bathroom. At ISH digital 2021, Pop up my Bathroom brought the Green Bathroom to life in an exhibition - with sustainable products.
The Green Bathroom is a future concept that strives for the optimal
combination of smart, water-saving and energy-saving products, eco-friendly
industrial production, sustainable materials and enduring design – while
simultaneously conveying a sense of being in touch with nature. But the way to a sustainable bathroom isn’t only paved
with highly complex technical products and state-of-the-art technologies;
products made of natural and/or recyclable materials that can be used for many
years to come also play a vital role.
The new TwistFlush toilet flush that Villeroy & Boch presented at
the ISH digital 2021 was a highlight of the trade fair. It aims to deliver an
optimal result while using considerably less water. According to the
Mettlach-based ceramics manufacturer, the patent-pending TwistFlush technology
uses the physical force of a controlled vortex to rinse virtually the entire
inner surface of the toilet and wash any soiling away with it. The toilet uses
just 4.5 litres of water for a large flush and 3 litres for a small one. Thanks
to the powerful flow, a single flush is generally all that’s needed. Based on
average use, a family of four can save up to 19,700 litres a year (as compared
to a conventional 6-litre flush). The controlled vortex also prevents splashing
and the formation of aerosols, while the rimless shape of the toilet is quick
and easy to clean. In addition, CeramicPlus and AntiBac ensure, according to
the manufacturer, a 99.9% reduction in the growth of bacteria.
But there’s a lot going on in the furniture category when it comes to protecting
the environment too. Take Eqio from burgbad, for example: the versatile furniture range from
burgbad brings a hip or retro, classic or modern look to bathrooms big and small
– and gives a broad target group peace of mind with regard to sustainability. The
collection from burgbad’s sys10 Quick Ship range features vanity solutions with
ceramic, mineral cast and glass basins, mix-and-match cabinets, functional
mirror cabinets, clever shelves and innovative lighting solutions. In addition,
retailers and end customers can now count on Eqio’s eco-friendliness too: late
last year, the series was awarded the Blue Angel, Germany’s oldest ecolabel. Thanks
to the strict test criteria associated with the Blue Angel, the label is highly
trusted by consumers and certifies that the collection is made of low-emission
materials, has no adverse impact on health in the living environment and that
the wood used for its production is sourced from sustainably managed forests.
