SUSTAINABILITY
We recognise our responsibility to the environment, which is why Water Kinetics has been created with sustainability as a core foundational value.
Ensuring that every choice we make has been carefully considered for the benefit of the environment, from our inner workings to our outgoing products.
Through this, we can guarantee that our incoming materials are just as eco-friendly as the product that we produce.
50% Energy Reduction
- Eco-Duo reduces the total amount of energy used, as water is kept at a stable temperature throughout the system to the point of usage thanks to its inventive recirculation system. This is apparent with our Bristol University installation, as well as studies undertaken by BRE. For more information, click here.
- Our system is beneficial for large commercial buildings, enabling substantial energy savings - up to as much as 50%! This is because Eco-Duo does not need to heat water as much as traditional pipe systems, thanks to its amazing temperature retention.
- In addition, all energy used in our premises comes from certified carbon neutral suppliers, meaning that in terms of carbon impact, Water Kinetics is setting the standard.
- Finally, Eco-Duo is also certified “excellent” under the BREEAM and LEED schemes. You can read more about BREEAM certification here.
Ecological Impact Reduction
- The copper, brass, and stainless steel used in Eco-Duo can be 100% recycled.
- The particular use of copper is essential to Eco-Duo's sustainability, given that the material can be recycled without losing its chemical composition.
- All packaging used in our products is sourced from 100% recycled materials. This includes internal packaging, which is made from hive paper. For more information about our packaging and the process behind it, click here.
- See image below on package recycling instructions.
How to Recycle Our Packaging
• Boxes: Our boxes are made from 100% recyclable materials. They can be disposed of at general recycling bins or plants.
• Internal Packaging: We use hive paper due to its effective protection and ease of recycling. It can be put into recycling bins and is even biodegradable!
• Plastics: We are determined to avoid plastics wherever possible. However, any plastic packaging used is Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), meaning it is fully recyclable. Please check your local authority for recycling information.
