As more and more consumers appreciate the importance of investing in sustainable products, the eco design sector will only grow, and early adapters will be ahead of the curve when it comes to supporting and guiding their customers design ideas and product choices.

eing more sensitive to the environment with factors like conser ving energ y, saving water and even reducing waste at home, are now encouraging consumers to reduce, reuse and recycle, and this is opening the door to new, greener tap designs in the mainstream. Helping to save water and ultimately future-proof the home by limiting water consumption, Abode is pleased to introduce the launch of its new Flow Limited Tap Collection: a range of water-efficient taps, which use up to 97% less water per minute thanks to the specially designed flow-limited aerators that reduce the flow rate, but not the pressure! Paul Illingworth, Design Manager at Abode says, “As conservation measures continue to influence both residential and contract interiors, we feel it’s the right time to introduce a ready to order range of Flow Limited Taps for the development sector to better serve the UK homeowner. We are finding that designed-in sustainability is a big topic right now and given the energy price cap from 1 April, the trend to reduce energy is running in parallel with water-use efficiency. Eco laundry appliances, water-saving showers and toilets, and a range of specialist kitchen taps are now a major priority for the UK homeowner, offering their own green rewards like reduced carbon footprint, energy and waste. The development market is therefore in a prime position to offer tangible benefits to the buyer by choosing sustainable products at the design and build phase, which in the long run, will lower energy consumption and help reduce utility bills for each occupant.”
