Triton Showers aims to achieve carbon net zero by 2025 as part of the manufacturer’s wider commitment to ‘move the dial’ on sustainability.
Triton is looking to make a difference as domestic water and energy wastage is becoming an increasingly important issue with electricity coming to the fore as a sustainable energy source for the future, it said this week.
David Tutton, managing director at Triton, added: “Heating water via electricity has long been the most efficient method in the home, and our expertise in electric showering means that we are well placed to support the market. It is the past, but also very much the future of showers, and there has never been a more critical moment than right now to improve help users improve their consumption habits.
“While we want to continue to ensure our customers have access to high performance showers, our role is to help them do so with a cleaner conscience. This was part of the reason behind the development of our water and energy savings calculator, which is a tool to highlight where quick wins can be made.
“A great deal of our research and development programme also concentrates on making all our products as efficient as possible, including making spare parts widely available to encourage repairs over replacement.”
Becoming net zero in 2025 will be the culmination of a long journey for Triton, a statement added, which has already undertaken several other sustainability focused initiatives such as being zero-to-landfill since 2015 and currently working with the Carbon Trust to gain carbon neutral certification in 2022.
Triton’s survey of homeowners to help identify attitudes towards home water and energy revealed an increasingly environmentally conscious consumer, expecting housebuilders and manufacturers provide environmentally friendly options. The findings will be outlined in an upcoming report entitled Greener UK Showers: lowering the water and energy consumption of showers in residential properties.
