One of the UK's leading waterless urinal provider, is urging South West businesses to play their part in the battle against needless carbon emissions.

Over 50 years on from the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the United Nations is warning that the climate is heating up too quickly for people and nature to adapt.

To keep global warming below 1.5°C this century, annual greenhouse gas emissions must be halved by 2030.

The UN is encouraging truly transformative options that are available, affordable and attractive for people to make better daily decisions.

Smarti Environmental, a company which enables existing flushing urinals to go waterless in just a day, is encouraging organisations to urgently review their use of flushing urinals in the ongoing climate crisis.

Its research shows that there are currently around 3.5 million water-supplied urinals in the UK, emitting 105kg of CO2, and wasting 100,000 litres of clean water per urinal, per year, which takes a huge amount of energy to be processed.

To encourage the move to flush-less urinals following Stockholm+50, and World Environment Day, Smarti Environmental is offering large organisations with 100 or more urinals within their group, a free washroom trial for 3-months, including free installation of its retro-fit waterless Vortex triple seal valves.

Smaller businesses can also benefit from savings of more than 50% compared to the cost of running conventional flushing urinals.

Kimberley Hill, New Business Development Manager at Smarti Environmental, said: "This World Environment Day, businesses have the opportunity to play a part in reducing needless water waste and carbon emissions by switching to waterless urinals.

"When you consider that waterless urinals cut CO2 and water waste at the same time as slashing urinal running costs by more than half – saving up to £1,200 on every three urinals in use – it’s a change that makes complete business and environmental sense.

"As an accredited Carbon Neutral Business, we’re doing all we can to make a positive difference to the environment, and that includes the use of environment-friendly enzyme technology.

"This ends the need for harsh cleaning materials, and avoids pollutants from entering the waste-water system, further enhancing the environmental benefits of waterless urinals.

"For organisations looking to a Net Zero future, we provide part of the solution to achieving this, helping businesses save the planet, one pee at a time."
