Let's talk about something we all know exists but rarely discuss - urinals.
For decades, water-flushing urinals were the only viable option.
Why?
The answer was simple: water was cheap, abundant, and seemed like the most hygienic way to handle waste disposal. Plus, the technology for effective waterless solutions simply didn't exist.

But thankfully, the technology has advanced.
While water-flushing urinals remain common due to their familiar design and established installation base, URIMAT's low-flow technology has proven itself as the superior choice for modern facilities.
The numbers tell a compelling story.
Each URIMAT installation saves around 100,000 liters of drinking water annually - water that's literally being flushed away in traditional systems.
For facility managers watching their utility bills, this translates to a ~30% reduction in water costs. In times when water conservation is crucial, this is a significant advantage.

Next, we have another common concern of odors.
Many would question, if there is no water, that means the growth of bacteria and a bad smell? - well, no!
Traditional urinals rely on water flushing to manage this issue, often with mixed results.
URIMAT's MB-ActiveTrap technology has solved this challenge through clever engineering - a vertical membrane creates an airtight seal while microbiological agents handle the cleaning.

No water, no chemicals, no odors.
Now, let’s grab your attention to the maintenance comparison:
- Traditional urinals need regular plumbing maintenance
- They require constant water supply monitoring
- Chemical cleaners must be regularly replenished
- Lime scale accumulation persists
URIMAT eliminates these headaches with its simple, efficient design.
No moving parts means fewer maintenance calls, and no water means no scale build-up.

You ask - the environmental impact?
Every cubic meter of water saved reduces CO2 emissions by 175g.
Multiply that by thousands of installations worldwide, and you're looking at significant environmental benefits that major brands like McDonald's, Nestlé, and Toyota have already recognized.
For those managing commercial properties, the choice between traditional and waterless systems isn't just about environmental responsibility - it's about smart business.
URIMAT's systems contribute to LEED and BREEAM certifications, offer potential advertising revenue and increased company image through display systems, and provide long-term cost savings through reduced maintenance and water bills.
