Roca has been a pioneer in developing more sustainable solutions for the bathroom space. This long-standing commitment of the brand has been reinforced in recent years, amidst climate change and global awareness of responsible use of our planet's limited resources. To achieve this common goal, it is essential to start with the home, and particularly the bathroom: it consumes 70% of the water and between 25% and 40% of the energy in the entire home, depending on the time of year.
Rock offers solutions that, thanks to their design and the application of the latest technological advances, help create bathroom spaces that are more efficient in terms of water and energy consumption.
One of its reference products is the W+W toilet and sinkThis innovative concept exemplifies the application of technology and design to benefit from water savings and space optimization. Its powerful system filters water from the sink for reuse in the toilet, creating a unique and distinctive product that has been recognized by the most prestigious international design awards.
Within the sanitary category, the application of various innovations that allow for significant resource savings stands out. To minimize water consumption, it is essential to opt for cisterns with dual flush system, which allow a consumption of only 4 liters in full mode and 2,5 liters in partial discharge, as offered by the new Ona collection.
On the other hand, minimizing the use of disposable wipes is key to contributing to a better planet, as they take more than 600 years to decompose. In this sense, using toilets plus bidets such as In-Wash® and In-Wash® with In-Tank® Roca, which are washed with water, contribute to promoting this much-needed change in habits. This range represents a further example of the integration of concepts to achieve maximum hygiene in the smallest space.
Another key product category for having a more sustainable bathroom space is the tapsRoca integrates into its basin faucet collections the Cold Start system for cold opening, in its basin faucet collections. This brand-exclusive technology allows the front opening to be reserved exclusively for cold water, and the handle must be turned gradually to obtain hot water. This prevents the accidental release of hot water, which leads to energy waste, unnecessary water consumption, and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. In the shower and bathtub, we find the thermostatic faucets, which allows you to reach the desired water temperature more quickly and also maintains a constant temperature, thus minimizing water waste.
Water consumption when leaving the tap running while washing hands or brushing teeth can reach 6 liters. Reducing this consumption is much easier with the touchless faucetsElectronic faucets incorporate a motion sensor that, after a few seconds, interrupts the supply to prevent unnecessary consumption. Roca's touchless solutions, such as the L20-E or L90-E, incorporate the sensor at the base of the spout, while models like the Atlas-E or Loft-E for countertop basin installations place it at the spout. This variety of configurations is complemented by their easy installation, as in all cases the faucets can be powered by electricity or batteries.
Another great ally to reduce water consumption is the aerators, present in all Roca collections. These systems are installed at the faucet outlet to reduce the volume of water poured: they achieve a 40 to 60% reduction in consumption without compromising performance and functionality.
All of these solutions, combined with the common sense of users, not only lead to increased efficiency but also directly benefit household bills.
