Three faucets (GROHE BauEdge S size, GROHE Eurosmart S size, GROHE Eurosmart Kitchen) and the GROHE Tempesta 100 shower bar set have achieved the Cradle to Cradle Certified product standard in gold. In addition, the lasting effect of GROHE BauEdge and GROHE Eurosmart valves is reinforced by the use of SilkMove ES technology, in which “ES” stands for saving energy. The technology prevents unnecessary consumption of hot water by delivering only cold water when the faucet is in a medium lever position. In this way, GROHE SilkeMove ES technology can help reduce a building's CO2 emissions — particularly important given that carbon emissions from buildings and construction account for almost 40% of global carbon emissions.
“The gold certification is a clear confirmation of GROHE's commitment to transform its products and business model from linear to circular. By using Cradle to Cradle Certified®-Product standard to optimize the sustainability of the faucets and the shower rail set, GROHE is setting a new standard within the sanitary industry for the design and manufacture of products that are safe, recyclable and responsibly manufactured.”
Dr. Christina Raab, Vice President for Strategy and Development of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute
