Impacts, Risks and Opportunities

Sustainability in Sanitary Engineering

Water consumption per capita across Germany is almost 130 liters every day. Sanitary technology manufacturers play a central role in optimizing the use of valuable resources in everyday life. With innovative technologies, they help to reduce water consumption in private households, offices, hotels and public facilities. And with sustainable product development, they managed to reduce the energy consumption and CO2 footprint of showers, bathtubs and toilets as much as possible.

Design and choice of materials determine how recyclable a product is at the end of its life cycle. Manufacturers rely on sustainable raw materials, recyclable materials and innovative manufacturing processes that are designed to conserve the environment and resources. Energy efficiency, plastic-free packaging and intelligent logistics are further steps towards climate-neutral production.
The industry is increasingly supplying sustainable technologies, facilities and systems for water supply, wastewater disposal and air treatment in buildings. Sanitary technology plays an important role in creating hygienic and comfortable living conditions. It is a crucial lever for sustainable development worldwide and can provide hundreds of millions of people with access to clean drinking water and sanitation.

In addition to manufacturers of fittings and bathroom ceramics, the industry also includes manufacturers of pipes, wastewater systems and water treatment systems.
