We can no longer afford all the water
Already today, many regions around the world are suffering from a serious water crisis. The current energy crisis teaches us the consequences of resources becoming scarce and expensive. Many of us are working hard every day to meet the 2030 climate targets despite knowing it will not be enough.
Consequently, we won't be able to afford such large amounts of hot water in the future.
Hence, we're acting now. We have developed a conceptual bathroom in harmony with people and nature:
Hansgrohe’s Green Vision Beyond Water: Rethinking Bathroom Culture.
The vision
Conceptually, our vision goes far beyond technological innovation and the sustainability triad of "reduce, reuse, and recycle." It's about "Rethink(ing)" – and questioning our daily routines in the bathroom.
Our goal is a sustainable change in consciousness, a new relationship with water, the body, and our daily routines.
Hansgrohe’s Green Vision stands for:
- up to 90 percent less water consumption,
- up to 90 percent less energy consumption,
- up to 90 percent less CO2e emissions in the bathroom.
Additionally, we wish to address:
- Skin-friendly body hygiene,
- mental peace, and
- relaxation.
The solution: regeneration with nearly no water
People's need for wellness clearly competes with the growing need to conserve water – an inner conflict for everyone. For this reason, we separate hygiene and well-being in our vision of the bathroom of the future. It allows unlimited regeneration without nearly any water.
