Helping professionals and consumers identify water-saving products

Driving forward plans for a single Water Label across the EU, the European Bathroom Forum unveiled its website, today; on World Water Day.

The Water Label Scheme is designed to provide consumers with easy access to a database of bathroom products showcasing their water and energy efficiency.In addition, there is a label for consumers and installers to identify the most water and energy efficient products. 

It is supported by European and national associations, such as Waterwise and the National Home Improvement Council (NHIC)

CEO of the Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) Yvonne Orgill said: “There is a great deal of support for a Water Label across Europe, the Government has been conducting research with Waterwise and the water utilities to look at a mandatory label. Michael Gove stated his position clearly at Water UK City Conference, earlier this month, warning water companies that continued failure would lead to tougher regulation ensuring consumers receive the service they deserve – and the natural world is better protected.”

Orgill continued: “Those registering on the Water Label Scheme are demonstrating their voluntary commitment to sustainability and reduction of water use. As Scheme Partners, our role will be to promote the Water Label within the industry and educate consumers to look for the label as a guide to buying sustainable products that conserve water, while saving energy and money.”

Currently 138 bathroom brands, covering nearly 11,000 products, participate in the Water Label scheme.
