How can your business save water? We share our top 6 solutions.

A 2021 survey by Deloitte into sustainability and consumer behaviour found that 32% of consumers are now engaging in a more sustainable lifestyle. Indeed 28% of consumers say they’ve stopped buying certain products because of environmental or ethical concerns.

34% of UK consumers who chose brands with environmentally sustainable or ethical practices state that conserving water and other natural resources is something they value.

So whatever sector you’re in, saving water should be one of your top priorities, especially if you are running a B2C business. This will not only help the environment and help you retain customers; it will also save your business money as a result.

Our top 6 ways how your business can save water are:

?? Educate your employees on water-saving measures. Send information round to your team via email, put up signs in the bathrooms and encourage them to get involved with the measures your business is implementing.

?? Install water-saving toilets. If you don’t have the budget to replace your current toilets, a cheap and simple solution is to add a water-saving device into each water tank.

?? Get rid of dripping taps. A dripping tap can waste around 60 liters of water per week, so installing a tap aerator will reduce water usage.

?? Submit regular meter readings to help track water usage to identify leaks.

?? Recycle greywater. Recycling greywater is becoming popular and could enable your business to save up to 30% of your water usage.

?? Book a water efficiency audit. Experts will visit your premises to assess current water usage, then make recommendations on practical ways of saving water.
