Talking about sustainability on the vendor’s part,
Dikondawar says, “Looking at eco-friendly products is
crucial and an important aspect during planning and de-
signing of our products. Be it material, process or design,
thought is given during development. Plastic is a sustain-
able material because of its simple processing, reprocess-
ing, low power consumption in manufacturing, durability
and minimal or no maintenance requirements. Procure-
ment of right materials, deployment of cutting edge tech-
nology in manufacturing and quality assurance helps us to
ensure sustainability criteria. Thus, all our products meet
sustainability requirements.”
Sustainability is not only a trend in India, but it is a glob-
al phenomenon. Maithani says that his company always
strives to do things better. For instance, in flushing technol-
ogy, its concealed cisterns have a dual flush with best in
class performance for water conservation.
Some of the most important milestones that Roca bath-
room products have introduced were mixer and electronic
faucets that have resulted in savings to users between 20%
and 50% of water consumption, or continuous reduction
systems in flushing toilets. Another innovation in the seg-
ment is Roca’s Hall Flush Free Urinals systems which work
without flushing water, making it one of the innovative prod-
uct in the category and giving a new name to efficiency. The
product is built in such a way that it does not require any
electrical power or liquid barrier for the closure of drainage
that makes it versatile. Additionally, cold start faucets, an in-
novation designed for sustainability, with water and energy
saving capability and zero CO 2 emissions.
All such moves by plumbing and bathroom products
manufacturers can only pave the way for a better future.
