Before looking for more water, let’s ask where we can use less. 💧

Water efficiency was on the agenda at Water Innovation Europe in Dublin on 13–14 October. For public and commercial buildings, that discussion translates into practical design questions:

-Which applications need drinking water?
-Where can consumption be reduced?
-And where can we eliminate flushing altogether?

Working in the sanitary sector, we are particularly interested in that last question. Waterless urinals offer one way to remove the need for flush water, while cleaning remains part of the operating plan.

The starting point should be a clear understanding of what each application actually requires. From there, we can select suitable technologies and assess their performance throughout everyday use.

Which water-consuming application would you rethink first in your building?

Good washroom cleaning starts before the first wipe.

The first step? Checking the instructions.
Is the cleaning product suitable for the surface and installed system? What dosage is required? How should it be applied?

These questions belong in every cleaning plan. Particularly with concentrates, dosing should follow the manufacturer’s instructions rather than guesswork or a rule of thumb passed between colleagues.

Working with sanitary systems has reinforced a simple principle for us: instructions need to be clear and available where the work happens.
Clearly labelled containers, suitable dosing equipment and practical training help turn a written procedure into a consistent routine — including when someone new joins the team.

That is why cleaning staff should be involved when procedures are developed and reviewed. Their experience helps identify what works in practice.
How do you make sure cleaning instructions are consistently followed in your facilities?

One working day. A chance to give something back.

At URIMAT, employees receive one paid day each year to volunteer for social projects.

It’s a practical way to make room for community involvement alongside everyday work. Time to lend a hand, contribute skills and gain a different perspective.

Our work focuses on using resources responsibly in washrooms. That sense of responsibility also shapes how we support our people and their contribution to the wider community.

We believe a company can help by giving employees time to get involved in causes they care about.

How does your organisation make space for volunteering?

Der Aktionstag ist vorbei. Der Alltagstest beginnt.

Am 15. Oktober war Welthändewaschtag. Doch gute Händehygiene braucht jeden Tag die richtigen Voraussetzungen.

Gerade in öffentlichen Toiletten zählt: Sind Wasser und Seife verfügbar? Ist die Bedienung verständlich? Funktioniert das Händetrocknen?
Warum also nicht Wasser, Seife und Händetrocknung in einem Produkt integrieren – und alle Funktionen berührungslos bedienen?

Das kann Wege verkürzen, Orientierung erleichtern und Kontaktpunkte reduzieren. Wer mit nassen Händen erst quer durch den Waschraum zum Trockner laufen muss, weiss, wie wichtig die Anordnung ist.

Auch Reinigung und Wartung gehören von Anfang an mitgedacht: Sind Nachfüllbehälter gut zugänglich? Lassen sich Oberflächen einfach reinigen? Werden Störungen schnell erkannt?

Gute Sanitärplanung bringt die Bedürfnisse von Nutzenden, Reinigung und Betrieb zusammen.

Was würde öffentliche Waschräume für Sie einfacher und angenehmer machen?

Why not show your true colours? 🌈

Who decided that every urinal has to be white?
Walk into almost any public washroom and you will see the same picture: white walls, white ceramic, white sanitary fixtures.

Safe? Yes.
Timeless? Maybe.
Exciting? Not exactly.

A washroom is part of a building's architecture — so why do we often stop designing when we reach the sanitary fixtures?

Colour can completely change the character of a space. Dark urinals can create elegant contrasts. Neutral tones can blend into sophisticated interior concepts. More expressive colours can support branding or simply make a washroom memorable.

And coloured sanitary solutions are not only about making an Instagram-friendly restroom.

For architects and facility managers, the real question is how design, hygiene, cleaning, durability and sustainability work together. Modern waterless urinal solutions can reduce potable water consumption while giving planners more freedom in washroom design.

Functionality does not have to mean boring.
And sustainability certainly does not have to be white. 😉

Would you specify a coloured urinal for your next project — or stick with the classic?
👉 Tell us which colour you would choose.

👨‍👩‍👧 “My child is sick. I need to leave early today.”

A simple sentence. But one that almost every working parent knows.
It’s in moments like these that words such as flexibility, trust and family-friendliness show what they really mean.

Because being family-friendly isn’t something you prove on a careers page.
It shows in everyday life.

When plans suddenly change.
When colleagues step in for each other.
When personal commitments meet professional responsibilities.
And when the first question isn’t “How will you make up those hours?” but “How can we make this work together?”

As a Swiss SME, we at URIMAT believe that behind every role is a person – with responsibilities both at work and at home.

Flexibility doesn’t mean less responsibility. Quite the opposite: trust works when responsibility goes both ways.

Because in the end, being family-friendly isn’t just another employee benefit.
It’s part of a company’s culture.

💬 What does a truly family-friendly workplace look like to you?

Was, wenn ausbleibender Regen nicht mehr die Ausnahme, sondern unsere neue Planungsrealität ist? 🌧️❌

Wasserknappheit betrifft längst nicht nur Landwirtschaft und Natur. Auch Facility Management, Gebäudetechnik und Architektur müssen sich fragen: Wie viel Trinkwasser brauchen unsere Gebäude wirklich?

Während wir über ESG, Green Buildings und Energieeffizienz sprechen, wird hochwertiges Trinkwasser noch immer für Anwendungen eingesetzt, bei denen es technisch vermeidbar wäre.

💧 Wassereffizienz beginnt nicht erst beim Nutzer – sondern bei der Planung.
Wasserlose Systeme, effiziente Armaturen sowie Regen- und Grauwassernutzung können den Verbrauch langfristig reduzieren.

Die entscheidende Frage lautet deshalb: Planen wir heute schon für das Wasser von morgen?

If you manage suppliers based solely on price, you are wasting their most valuable asset: their expertise.

We recently spent two intensive days with one of our long-standing suppliers, discussing current challenges, sharing practical experience and exploring future developments.

Why do we speak so openly about ideas that are still evolving?

Because innovation does not happen behind closed doors. Material selection, manufacturing, quality, availability and resource efficiency are closely connected. Developing better solutions means involving the people who understand the processes, materials and technical possibilities from hands-on experience.

Openness does not mean always agreeing. Quite the opposite: a valuable workshop should raise uncomfortable questions, challenge assumptions and bring different perspectives to the table. That is how ideas become solutions that work in practice.

Our conclusion: A supplier is not simply the final link in a purchase order. They can be a crucial development partner.

That requires trust, transparency and a shared commitment to shaping the future.

Be honest: Do you still treat your suppliers as a cost factor, or already as knowledge partners?

„Wassersparend.“ Oder einfach nur Greenwashing?

Nachhaltig. Ressourcenschonend. Wassersparend.
Begriffe, die wir im Gebäudebereich ständig hören. Doch ohne Zahlen bleiben sie vor allem eines: Behauptungen.

Gerade bei Sanitäranlagen lässt sich Nachhaltigkeit konkret messen:
-Liter Wasser pro Nutzung
-Wasserverbrauch pro Jahr
-Wasser- und Abwasserkosten
-Wartungs- und Betriebsaufwand
-Einsparungen über den gesamten Lebenszyklus

Denn entscheidend ist nicht, ob eine Lösung „grün“ klingt.
Entscheidend ist, ob ihre Wirkung messbar und nachvollziehbar ist.
Vielleicht brauchen wir deshalb weniger Nachhaltigkeitsversprechen und mehr Fakten, KPIs und transparente Ergebnisse.

Wo beginnt Greenwashing für euch: bei fehlenden Zahlen oder erst bei falschen Versprechen?

Isn’t there a hazard symbol missing?”

We hear this question surprisingly often. Our answer: No, nothing is missing.

A hazard pictogram is not a mandatory sticker for every cleaning product. The MB-ActiveCleaner does not meet the CLP criteria for classification as hazardous. Therefore, neither a signal word nor hazard pictograms are required.

It is a water-based, microbiological sanitary cleaner. It contains bacterial spores and less than 5% anionic surfactants. The microorganisms help break down organic residues that cause unpleasant odours.

The absence of a hazard pictogram is therefore not an oversight. It is the result of a professional assessment of the complete formulation based on the applicable regulatory criteria.

And there is more inside the bottle than its size suggests: MB-ActiveCleaner is a concentrate diluted with water at a ratio of 1:20. One litre of concentrate can therefore be mixed with up to 20 litres of water, providing an efficient cleaning solution for everyday use in sanitary facilities.

So perhaps the better question is not:
“Where is the hazard symbol?”

But:
“Does a professional cleaner need aggressive ingredients to deliver professional results?”
