The Geberit CleanLine50 shower channel requires significantly less metal than its predecessor, making it around 50 per cent lighter. The shower channel thus fulfils the requirements of Geberit eco-design, according to which every product has to be better than its predecessor from an ecological perspective.

For the revised Renova urinal series, Geberit has developed a new flush guide that flushes out the ceramic appliance cleanly with just 0.5 litres of water. When the flush is actuated, the outflowing water in the guide opens a flap and is directed evenly into the ceramic appliance. When the water pressure drops, the flap closes again. The result: no dripping water. If everything is controlled via the Geberit Control app, additional water can be saved by reducing flushing times, for example.

The Geberit type 240 flush valve is made of 50% recycled ABS recovered from high-quality plastic waste from electrical and electronic appliances. According to the manufacturer, the energy required to manufacture the recycled material is 80% less than that required for virgin material. The flush valve is made with 12% less plastic than the previous model, with a 30% improvement in flush performance.

The Geberit WC System, which incorporates a cistern, dual flush, Type 212 flush valve and the WC ceramic appliance with TurboFlush technology, achieves outstanding flush performance. Even with small amounts of water – starting from 2.6 litres for the partial flush and 4 litres for the full flush – the toilet is flushed out optimally, as the water flow is coordinated to match the Geberit concealed cisterns.

Thanks to sophisticated design and the use of less material together with green electricity in production, each new Duofix element for wall-hung WCs causes 10 per cent fewer CO2 emissions compared to its predecessor. The protecting hoses and the protection plugs are made of 100 per cent and 60 per cent recycled plastics, respectively. Spare parts are available for the Duofix installation system for 50 years.

Around one-third of daily water consumption in the home results from the toilet flush. An average of six to nine litres of water flow into the sewage system with each individual flush. It is therefore worth tackling this issue. By fitting a stop-and-go flush or dual flush, significant amounts of water can be saved compared to a single flush. Modern flush valves such as the Type 212 can also be set so they use a reduced flush volume.

The type 212 flush valve makes an important contribution to saving drinking water, as the WC ceramic appliance can be flushed with small amounts of water – from 4 litres for a full flush and from 2.6 litres for a partial flush. It is backwards compatible with all Sigma, Delta and Omega concealed cisterns.

The Type 383 fill valve is not only particularly quiet, it is also made of 10 per cent recycled plastic, which is recognisable by the dark grey colour. This is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) that has been recovered from electronic scrap. Compared to its predecessor, the use of plastic has been reduced, resulting in material savings of 40 per cent per fill valve. Incidentally, the fill valve is backwards-compatible and can be installed without any problems in models that are up to 50 years old.

A drainage system with Geberit SuperTube makes it possible to use smaller pipes and to eliminate the ventilating pipe. This saves on materials in tall buildings.

According to a project example, Geberit Pluvia requires 73% less material weight for PE pipes and fittings compared to conventional roof drainage solutions (calculation according to DIN 1986-100).

The flush guide for the iCon Rimfree Plus toilet is made of 69% recycled ABS plastic. It has a long service life because it is easy to remove for cleaning and descaling.

The mounting frames for the actuator plates are made entirely of recycled ABS plastic that has been recovered from electronic scrap. The Sigma20 actuator plate in white is 100 per cent recyclable.

The Geberit DuoFresh module eliminates unpleasant odours by extracting air right from the WC ceramic appliance and purifying it with a ceramic honeycomb filter. This saves up to 50 litres of heating oil per year compared to conventional window ventilation.

Geberit ceramic appliances are made of the natural raw materials quartz, kaolin, feldspar and clay. Their durability and robustness ensure long-lasting performance and enable reuse at the end of their lifecycle.

The range of rimless WC ceramics is constantly being expanded. Rimfree technology simplifies cleaning and contributes to the economical use of cleaning agents.

The use of electronic taps can reduce water consumption by almost 50% compared to conventional taps. Wall-mounted taps are easier and quicker to clean than deck-mounted taps, further reducing the consumption of water and cleaning agents.
