Green Living in the Bathroom

Eco Friendly Bathrooms

©Tubz.com Feature Story

Many sites provide informative articles on creating bathrooms that are designed with ecology in mind. They offer great ideas like:

• Fix leaks

• Use water saving toilets

• Replace plastic shower curtains with cloth

• Turn the water off when brushing teeth

All practices we all should be using. But, what about the manufactures that are creating our bathroom products? How are they helping to provide more green in our world?

From Graff Faucets:

Your concern for the environment is shared by Graff - it's at the forefront of everything we do. Complete manufacturing control has enabled us to implement internationally accepted ISO I 4000 green processes, which comply with rigorous Graff Luna Wall Mount Sink FaucetEnvironmental Management Systems (EMS) standards. Even with all the foundry, metal finishing and plating, our company has a zero discharge system. Everything in our factory is either recycled or recovered.

Graff also works closely with the LEED (leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) green building rating system. This third party certification program is the nationally accepted benchmark for design, construction and operation of high performance buildings.

Graff offers the option of water-saving aerator inserts for the majority of its faucets to reduce flow from 2.2 gpm to 1.5 gpm. If every household in America installed a water-saving aerator in at least one faucet, collectively they could save over 60 billion gallons of water per year.
