FAQs About Waterless Urinals
With a billion-plus population, water management is a far greater challenge in India compared to other countries in the world.
According to a NITI Aayog report, 75% of households do not have access to clean drinking water, and 84% of households in rural areas lack safe piped water for use.
Thus, water conservation measures are essential to ensure water is available in the future. One of the ways to achieve this objective is to use waterless urinals.
According to ENVIS Centre on Hygiene, Sanitation, Sewage Treatment Systems and Technology, a conventional urinal in India requires an average of 3-5 litres of water per flush.
It means a large portion of water supplied to households, commercial establishments and industries is flushed down the toilet.
Waterless urinals can help to save approximately 56,800 litres to 1,70,000 litres of water per urinal every year.
Organica Biotech is one of the leading companies with advanced solutions for waterless urinals, which helps in conserving water in the process.
The OB Care FlushFree Urinal Care Program is an effective, simple, and environment-friendly method to boost the performance of waterless urinals and save water in the process.
