6 whizzy water-saving ways, for businesses

Save water, save energy and cut carbon emissions – from sinks, to toilets and more, hear how to tap into the opportunities out there, with the multi award-winning team – and official water partner of Future Net Zero - at business water retailer Water Plus
 
Water can be a forgotten utility, though by controlling it businesses – including SMEs and larger – can often reduce their water consumption and other utility bills.
And getting started with water-saving is easy too – plus water efficiency actions don’t need to cost the earth.
As for the potential out there – well, a pub that runs accommodation for hire, saw the average flow rates through taps decrease from an average 13 litres a minute to an average 2.4 litres a minute, an 81% water saving, with new water efficient showerheads cutting flow rates from an average 11 litres per minute, to an average 7 litres per minute.
These are low-cost steps, that can deliver a big result around using less water and less energy.
Hear more about the opportunities with water out there – in this podcast. Plus, there’s more on the Future Net Zero site here.
There are carbon emissions linked to all water used at businesses, so reducing water used, cuts carbon too.
You cannot go Net Zero without looking at water and finding smarter ways to use it, reducing overall use – which gives a big boost to efficiency.
Businesses and the those in the public sector interested in the additional water tracking and services Water Plus can provide, including water audits, can email: hello@water-plus.co.uk .
