Geberit Products Save Water and Space in Modern Bathrooms

Geberit in North America provides concealed systems for wall-hung and floor-mounted toilets and fixtures that improve the look of any bathroom by hiding unsightly plumbing hardware, resulting in more usable space, improved hygiene and better accessibility. Geberit's dual-flush plumbing products when used with the appropriate toilets can qualify for EPA WaterSense rebates or green building points. They accompany the Geberit in wall tank systems for wall-hung toilets and are easy to use while simply and effortlessly reinforce a behavior change to save water. Geberit in wall carrier systems with dual-flush are popular in hotels, condominiums, residences, commercial bathrooms and modular construction. Built-in 1.6/0.8 GPF (6/3 LPF) or 1.28/0.8 GPF (4.8/3 LPF) dual-flush lowers water bills. Designers, contractors and homeowners can utilize the EPA WaterSense Product Search to find the water saving compliant toilet combinations with Geberit tanks or see the Geberit Clean Design brochure.

Products Especially for California Energy Commission (CEC) and CalGreen

The CEC requires that manufacturers meet state and federal standards for energy and water efficiency. Both Chicago Faucets and Geberit products are listed in the California Energy Commission (CEC) Appliance Efficiency Database by Brand search. California has also created a state green building code (CalGreen) for non-residential buildings that requires a reduction in water consumption by at least 20%. Chicago Faucets offers over 200 CalGreen compliant products with low flow from 0.35 GPM to 1.5 GPM that are identified in its website. Geberit products also help meet CalGreen.

Committed to Reduce and Recycle Too!

Richard Nortier, Director of Marketing states, "Chicago Faucets is proud to be a partner with WaterSense. Both the Chicago Faucet Company along with our parent company in Europe, the Geberit Group take sustainability seriously. In addition to engineering and manufacturing hundreds of water efficient products, we practice the three Rs Reduce, Reuse, Recycle in all our facilities."

Chicago Faucets is committed to reducing its environmental impact by monitoring electricity, natural gas, water and the amount of waste going to landfill. In the company's Milwaukee foundry alone, the amount of landfill waste has been reduced by 60% on an annual basis. A significant amount - 98% of its scrap brass is recycled. Internally Chicago Faucets recycles more than 20 tons per year. Since CFC utilizes a clean, virgin alloy manufacturing process, the scrap can be returned as ingot for casting. The faucet manufacturer also recycled over 600 tons of brass with outside partners. Since brass is a valuable resource, the company invites customers join its recycling efforts by taking retired Chicago Faucets fittings to an appropriate recycling facility. Visit the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries website to find a recycler in your area.
