The best recipe for the environment
We really believe that healthy and sustainable food should taste delicious and be affordable to all. Simply because environmentally friendly and fairly produced food does us and our climate so much good. Want to save water when you cook? Our ideas are the best recipe for conserving precious water on a day-to-day basis.
Plant-based goodness
Did you know that plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy products can be pretty smart? So, if you integrate more plant-based goodness into your diet, you’ll be doing one of the most effective things for climate protection. How would you feel about only eating meat once a week as an initial step? Or introducing a vegan weekend?

Saving water with a knife and fork
Whether you’ve now decided to wash your vegetables in a water bath, fill your water bottle from the tap or use mixer taps that don’t waste any hot water and, in turn, conserve energy – the little things really do add up. That’s why we have lots of solutions for how you can save precious water. Day in, day out.
Saving water made easy
When it comes to saving water, there is probably no end to creativity. Even the right mixer tap can make a big difference. Thanks to aerators, our mixer taps use up to 50% less water at the same pressure. And you can regulate hot and cold water precisely without wasting it.
Did you know?
When it comes to water consumption, animal products are head and shoulders above the rest. So, those who incorporate more plant-based products into their meal plans and enjoy meat in moderation can reduce their virtual water consumption by almost 50%.”
Take the pressure off
Did you know that hot water accounts for around 15% of your household’s energy consumption? And that you can reduce your water consumption in an environmentally aware way even when washing vegetables? With the right fittings, you can save water which in turn saves energy. Pretty clever, right?
Wash fruit and vegetables properly
Don’t wash fruit and vegetables under running water. It’s better to wash the produce in a bowl filled with warm water as this is just as effective at removing the pesticides and uses less water. You can then use the water to water your indoor garden if you like.
Save water when showering
How can you save an unbelievable amount of water? If you want to save water, energy and therefore money every day, the right shower head is essential. Because a low-flow shower head has an insert that helps to save water and energy, without compromising on pressure.
