The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Toilets
At Weinstein Bath & Kitchen Showroom, we believe every home deserves functional and sustainable fixtures. Your toilet is an essential fixture where you can make a difference. By upgrading to eco-friendly toilets, you invest in your home and contribute to environmental conservation, along with many other benefits.
What Does ‘Eco-friendly’ Mean?
‘Eco-friendly’ means a reduced impact on the environment. A toilet can be eco-friendly in numerous ways, from using recycled materials during construction to being designed for longevity to decrease the carbon footprint. One of the main ways toilets can be eco-friendly is by being water-efficient and promoting sustainable practices by conserving water.
The conserving water usage is used mainly during flushing. An efficient toilet model can reduce the water used per flush from 20-60% over a standard model. Considering how often people flush daily, a water-efficient toilet can translate into significant savings.
Low-Flow Flushing Toilets
Low-flow toilets are the standard for water efficiency. Modern low-flow toilets utilize innovative flushing systems that rely on gravity, pressure assistance, and even dual-flush options to ensure effective waste removal with less water. The result is that these toilets use substantially less water than regular models while offering quality performance to meet your daily needs.
EPA’s WaterSense Program
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program offers a platform for manufacturers to produce and consumers to select water-efficient products that meet rigorous criteria. Toilets that bear the WaterSense label are 20% more water-efficient than the average products in that category. So, if you want a more efficient, eco-friendly toilet, look for a WaterSense label on the model.
