This circular model is the basis for the Cradle to Cradle® design concept from GROHE. Launched today at GROHEX – GROHE’s brand new digital platform – these products are designed and manufactured with the intent of using its components in its end-of-life-phase for the creation of new products.
GROHE has launched four best-selling products as Cradle to Cradle Certified® variants, which achieved the Gold Product Standard. These are GROHE Tempesta 100 shower rail set, GROHE Eurosmart Kitchen, GROHE Eurosmart S-Size, GROHE BauEdge S-Size.
To achieve a certification, a product is evaluated in terms of the following five categories: material health, material re- utilisation, renewable energy, water stewardship, and social fairness. Each product is then designated a level of achievement: basic, bronze, silver, gold, or platinum.
Further reduction of a buildings‘ carbon footprint:
The sustainability benefit of the three taps is enhanced with the SilkMove ES technology, where ES stands for energy saving. The technology prevents the unnecessary use of hot water by supplying only cold water when the tap lever is in the middle position. Emissions from buildings and construction constitute almost 40% of global carbon emissions*
