(GROHE BauEdge S-Size, GROHE Eurosmart S-Size and GROHE Eurosmart Kitchen, GROHE Tempesta 100 shower rail set)
Having been working towards approaching a circular economy for many years, GROHE is proud to have four of its bestselling products confirmed as Cradle-to-Cradle® certified since March 2021. GROHE has manufactured and re-designed four of its best-selling products to have the potential to be re-used endlessly, offering a whole new take on the concept of recycling. The Cradle-to-Cradle® design principles enable GROHE to drastically reduce the use of new resources, as a product is designed and manufactured with the intent of using its components in its end-of-life-phase for the creation of new products, resulting in the ultimate sustainable solution.
GROHE’s bestselling taps, GROHE BauEdge S-Size, GROHE Eurosmart S-Size, GROHE Eurosmart Kitchen and the GROHE Tempesta shower rail set are now Cradle to Cradle Certified® at the Gold level, meeting one of the certification’s highest requirements. In addition, the sustainable impact of GROHE BauEdge and GROHE Eurosmart is enhanced with SilkMove ES technology, where ES stands for energy-saving. The technology prevents the unnecessary use of hot water by supplying only cold water with the lever in the middle position.
