CRITERION 1

Low impact materials

Abode

Abode’s RemaStone is a composite stone material that combines sophisticated design with sustainability and innovation. RemaStone contains an impressive 35% recycled content sourced from upcycled materials, including old basins, kitchen sinks and production waste. Remastone utilises plant-based resins, replacing petroleum alternatives, demonstrating how this product utilises alternative materials to promote sustainable living.

CRITERION 2

Recycled materials

Croydex

Croydex has successfully launched two new sustainable products: the Coniston Recycled and Recyclable Toilet Seat and a Recycled and Recyclable Shower Curtain. Both products are designed with circularity in mind, supporting our objective to reduce environmental impact through responsible material use and end-of-life recyclability.

The market response to these launches was strongly positive, reinforcing the strategic value of our sustainability-focused product development. These additions represent meaningful progress in expanding our sustainable product category and contribute to our broader ESG goals. Our New Product Development (NPD) team continues to prioritise innovation in sustainable design, ensuring that Croydex remains at the forefront of environmentally conscious bathroom solutions.

CRITERION 3

Responsibly sourced materials

Grant Westfield

Grant Westfield’s Naturepanel reflects a commitment to responsible sourcing by being Made in Britain using Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C128180) certified materials and 100% recyclable. The responsibly-sourced Naturepanel holds an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), confirming its lower environmental impact. Naturepanel also comes with a 30-year warranty, reducing the need for replacements and reducing waste. The product’s durability extends its lifecycle. It’s a practical, long-term choice for a more sustainable future.

CRITERION 4

Efficiently manufactured

None of our current product portfolio meets this criterion yet. As we shift to a more capital-light model, relying on third-party manufacturing and deep sourcing partnerships, we depend on supplier data to assess this area. Our suppliers are at varying stages of progress, though some are standout performers. We’re confident in our supply chain and expect to report progress next year, once the verification process is complete.

CRITERION 5

Safety and independence

MERLYN

MERLYN’s slip-resistant shower trays are designed to support safe and independent living, especially for those with limited mobility. With the highest slip-resistance rating (Class C, DIN 51097), these trays offer lasting peace of mind — the slip resistance won’t wear off and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

CRITERION 6

Energy saving

House of Plumbing

House of Plumbing’s solar geysers use energy from the sun to reduce energy usage and water heating costs. By using solar energy, they help cut household energy bills and reduce environmental impact.

CRITERION 7

Water saving

VADO

VADO’s EcoTurn (Cold Start) technology offers an expanded cold-water area, enabling users to choose when to use hot water by turning the lever. This allows for simple tasks, such as brushing teeth, to be done without activating the boiler, saving energy and extending the boiler’s lifespan. EcoTurn products come with a 5 l/m flow regulator, enabling customers to save water in their homes.

CRITERION 8

Extending product lifecycles

MERLYN

MERLYN’s products are designed to support extended product lifecycles. Every MERLYN product comes with a warranty of at least ten years, reflecting the brand’s commitment to durability and long-term performance. In addition, MERLYN maintains spare parts for many of its ranges, including those that have been discontinued, making it easier for customers to repair and maintain their shower enclosures over time. These practices help reduce unnecessary waste and resource consumption by extending the usable life of products and minimising the need for replacements.
