A presentation from the Unified Water Label Association (UWLA) at ISH, the event held in Frankfurt this month, concluded that the industry has the solution to better water and energy efficiency in the home with the Unified Water Label.
Speakers from brands that support the Unified Water Label shared their commitment to using and promoting the label in order to help them achieve their sustainability aims.
René Marienfeld, Senior Product Design Engineer, IKEA, said,
We have embraced the Unified Water Label as it provides easy to understand information about the technical features of a product and creates awareness of water and energy consumption. The feedback from our staff, partners and consumers has been really positive and we are excited to be part of the scheme.
Steffan Erath, Head of Innovation & Sustainability at Hansgrohe Group talked about Hansgrohe’s Green Vision beyond Water, and how they see sustainability as an opportunity. Steffan said:
Supporting the Unified Water Label provides us with an opportunity to work with the industry and the government to bring about change.
UWLA CEO Yvonne Orgill said:
We are grateful to our partners and supporters for joining us at ISH to raise the visibility of the Unified Water Label.
They have shown that the industry has the solution and can lead the change in consumer awareness and behaviour that is required to support the products available.
It is clear that our message is being heard as the number of enquiries we have had from ISH is phenomenal, with forty six serious enquiries about joining the scheme.
