Thanks to a structured process and the latest methods, Geberit produces highly developed, reliable, sustainable and optimally coordinated sanitary and piping systems. Environmental aspects are taken into consideration as early as the initial phase of the development process.
Eco-Design as the key to environmentally friendly products
As a rule, environmental impact does not result by chance. In the development process, early planning can ensure that as environmentally friendly materials as possible are used, that risks are minimized and a high efficiency of resources is achieved.

In concrete terms, so-called Eco-Design workshops are held for all important projects under the lead management of the environment and sustainability department. These workshops include a systematic product analysis during all life phases, the involvement of statutory requirements as well as the analysis of competitor products. The knowledge gained is included in the performance specification for the product. The aim of Eco-Design is to make each new product better than its predecessor in terms of environmental aspects.
Life cycle assessments for products are valuable decision-making aids in this respect. The following life cycle assessments are available for download as PDF files or can be ordered directly from us as personal copies:
Continuing the history of success in water saving
The traditional strength of Geberit products in terms of water saving shows a big leverage effect here. Thus there has been a massive reduction in the amount of water consumption per flush through the dual flush technique – from the previous level of over 14 liters to 6 or 3 liters. 1-liter urinals with electronically triggered flushing and waterless urinals with odor trap are new developments with positive effects on water consumption in every respect. |
