Description

Since then McDonald’s Switzerland has been saving 30 Million litres of drinking water each year, McDonalds promotes those figures over the integrated display and therefore actively helps to raise awareness to save water. The ROI was reached within less than 12 month. Till today McDonalds Switzerland saved more than 540.000.000 litre of drinking water and 1.620.000 CHF in cost for water. Followed by Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom URIMAT waterless urinals have been favoured and installed by McDonald´s around Europe. Today around 70% of all McDonald´s stores in Europe are using URIMAT waterless urinals. McDonald´s recommends URIMAT in their McDonald´s Europe Green Building Remodel Guidelines” as one of their preferred choices of possible suppliers. McDonald´s is also promoting URIMAT urinals i

Impact & Result

To date, more than 540 million liters of drinking water have been saved, alongside cost reductions exceeding 1.6 million CHF. These achievements reflect significant progress in both resource conservation and financial efficiency.

Solution Spotlight

The Solution, URIMAT waterless urinals, aims at providing a sustainable, profitable, ecologically and hygienic option to traditional, water-flushed urinals for non-domestic restrooms for small, medium and large facilities. The Solution relies on hightech-palstic or ceramic urinals with an integrated and patented odour-trap (MB-ActiveTrap) which assures that urine is transferred without water to the wasterwater pipe network without any odour nuisance for the user. The rimless urinal bowls with a very smooth and water-repellent surface assures additionally that even smallest trops will be transferred to the wasterwater system and makes cleaning easier compared to water-flushed systems. First class customer service is provided by the manufacturer and their distributors.
