PORCELANOSA GROUP, 45 YEARS COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Care for its surroundings and environmental conservation have been a priority for PORCELANOSA Group since its foundation. 45 years improving production processes to reduce the impact of emissions, minimise waste and optimise the use of water resources in order achieve the maximum reduction of the environmental footprint. Reducing the impact. Encouraging sustainability. Beyond reducing the impact generated on the ecosystem, the efforts of PORCELANOSA Group are aimed at encouraging sustainable development. Solutions for architecture and interior design which make life more efficient, optimising the use of basic resources such as energy and water.

Noken and environmental protection

Around two thirds of domestic water consumption occurs in the bathroom. Therefore, Noken products are designed to reduce water and energy use.

ECO double flush

up to 56% water savings

In toilets, the use of water is frequent, but it is not always necessary to flush the same amount of water. The ECO double flush mechanism for toilets has achieved water savings of up to 56%. You can now select between the smaller flush of 3 litres and the full flush of 4.5 litres, with up to 56% water savings; or the smaller flush of 3 litres and the full flush of 6 litres, with up to 47% water savings; depending on the type of toilet. Because in the bathroom, every drop counts.

ECO materials which reduce environmental impact

In toilets, we use reusable and recyclable materials. They are reusable as all faulty pieces in the first phase of production are returned to the cycle for an efficient use of raw materials. Additionally, not only the cisterns are manufactured with recyclable materials; after the lifespan of the product ends, the material is reused in new production cycles.

Turn on cold systems

less energy, less water.

Saving water and energy with the same tap is possible. The Noken R&D department has developed the turn on cold system. Thanks to this innovation, when the user turns on the tap in its initial position, only cold water will be released. With this system, the risk of burning is eliminated, and the unnecessary use of hot water prevented. Energy use and CO2 emissions derived from the use of heaters and boilers are also reduced.

Taps with flow limiter

efficient use of water

Flow limiters personalise the user experience, but above all contribute to saving water. They can be installed in external taps for showers, hand showers and showerheads, with versions for 6, 7, 9 and 12 litres per minute. Environmental protection from the shower.

ECO aerators

40-80% water and energy savings

ss water. Less energy. Less CO2. With ECO aerators, the consumption of resources is reduced thanks to the flor always being limited to a set value of litres per minute, regardless of pressure. A flow limiter, special nozzles and the incorporation of air achieves water and energy savings of 40 to 80% without affecting the comfort of the user.

Taps with sensors, timers and electronics

innovation for savings

Technology for saving water. This is what Noken achieves in its taps with sensors, timers and electronics, limiting the use of water to the specific experience of the user. In the case of Mood and Pure Line electronic taps, these allow the temperature to be raised digitally, selecting the flow and output of the water. This results in constant water and energy savings.

ECO manufacturing

50% recycled material

Apart from the reuse of water in the tap production processes, Noken bases its concept of taps on recycled raw materials. Depending on the model, up to 50% of the brass with which they are manufactured may be recycled.

LEED and BREEAM Certifications

stars in sustainability

The LEED and BREEAM certifications are energy efficiency and sustainability certifications for buildings, not fittings. Through a rating system based on stars or points, the BREEAM and LEED systems measure pollution, waste and water use, among other factors. Noken Porcelanosa Bathrooms fittings contribute to obtaining these certifications, doing so through their sustainable properties: taps with flow limiters, double flush toilets, etc.
