It’s that time of year, when Business Link Magazine invites the region’s business leaders to offer up their predictions for the year ahead.
It has become something of a tradition, given that we’ve been doing this now for over 30 years.
Here we speak to Simon Rice, the founder and Managing Director of Derby-based washroom water conservation specialists HSG.
Environmental sustainability and the cost of living crisis continue to share the headlines so I hope that 2023 brings a greater acceptance of how businesses can embrace technology that has a positive impact on both the earth’s precious resources and the corporate balance sheet.
Most people are not aware that the majority of fresh drinking water that is used in a commercial premises goes through the urinals.
Most urinals flush four times per hour – so every 15 minutes, even at night when the building is empty, resulting in a mammoth 96 flushes per day.
Our Ureco water conservation system enables businesses to drastically reduce the amount of fresh drinking water flushed down the drain and saves them money on water and maintenance bills.
In addition to the water and cost savings, the patented Ureco technology stops unpleasant smells and blockages which, in turn, negates the need for harsh chemicals being poured in the drainage system and sewerage system.
It’s often the simplest ideas that have the greatest impact so I hope this is the year that business owners open their minds to the part they can play in reducing their carbon footprint for good of the environment and their own financial health.
