Plastic reduction can also start in the washroom.

Many companies already look at waste reduction in offices, kitchens or production areas. But one area is often overlooked: the cleaning of sanitary facilities.

Cleaning tablets can help reduce plastic waste in daily operations. They require less packaging volume than many liquid cleaning products in bottles or canisters and can be dosed more precisely.

The benefit is not one big promise, but many small improvements that repeat every day: less packaging, less storage effort, less handling of bulky containers and a clearer cleaning process.

A good reason to take a closer look at how washroom cleaning is organised today.

🦠 Ever wondered why some areas start smelling again just a few days after cleaning?
The culprit is often a biofilm—a layer of microorganisms and organic residues that builds up on surfaces, drains and sanitary installations.
Biological cleaners work differently from traditional cleaners:
🔬 Enzymes break down organic matter
🦠 Beneficial bacteria consume the residues
🚫 Odours are removed at their source rather than covered up with fragrances
An additional advantage is the so-called depot effect. The beneficial bacteria remain active after cleaning and continue breaking down newly deposited organic material.
In simple terms:
Traditional cleaning often removes today's dirt.
Biological cleaning can help prevent tomorrow's odours.

🌊 Der Bodensee und weitere Schweizer Seen haben bereits jetzt ungewöhnlich tiefe Wasserstände. Ein Warnsignal?
Jede Person in der Schweiz verbraucht durchschnittlich rund 300 Liter Wasser pro Tag. Ein grosser Teil davon fliesst oft unbemerkt in Sanitäranlagen.
💧 Genau hier kann moderne Sanitärtechnik einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten:
✔ Wasserlose Urinale sparen bis zu 100’000 Liter Wasser pro Jahr
✔ Sparsame Armaturen reduzieren den Wasserverbrauch deutlich
✔ Nachhaltige Lösungen senken gleichzeitig Betriebs- und Energiekosten
Wasser wird auch in der Schweiz zunehmend zu einer wertvollen Ressource.
Zeit, nachhaltige Lösungen stärker mitzudenken.

🌍 Fertilizer prices may increase dramatically worldwide due to geopolitical tensions and disrupted supply chains.

At the same time, we are flushing away a resource that could help solve part of the problem: human urine.

Yes — really.

Human urine naturally contains important nutrients such as:
✅ Nitrogen
✅ Phosphorus
✅ Potassium

Using waterless urinals, urine can be collected separately and later processed into sustainable fertilizer.

This could lead to:
💧 lower water consumption
🌱 reduced dependency on synthetic fertilizers
♻ real circular economy solutions
🌍 lower environmental impact

Maybe the future of sustainable agriculture starts much closer than we think — inside our buildings.

Why are we still routing drinking water + electricity to a wall just to wash away… urine? 🤨

If you’re designing a new build, the “default” flush urinal often sneaks in without anyone questioning the hidden complexity. But from a planning + installation perspective, a waterless urinal is simply the cleaner equation.

Here’s why it’s easier (and yes, your installers will quietly thank you):
1) No flush valve = no power = fewer headaches
A flush urinal usually needs a flush valve with sensor technology (triggering, electronics, service access). That means:
extra coordination in electrical drawings
cable routing + interfaces
more space behind the wall for components and access
A waterless urinal?
No sensor flush. No power connection. No “where do we hide the box?” moments. Just straightforward urinal installation.

2) No water supply line = one whole system disappears
Waterless means: no drinking water supply line to the urinal.
So in sanitary planning / plumbing design, you remove:
-pipe runs
-valves
-penetrations
-coordination with other trades
Less planning. Less installation work. Less “we found a clash on site”.
Bonus: your specification text gets shorter
If you don’t need flush valves, sensors, power supply and water piping, your specification / tender text becomes smaller, clearer, and easier to compare. And usually the CAPEX for the complete setup drops because you’re not buying and installing all the extra components.

So… why is the flush urinal still the standard for many planners?
Because big manufacturers provide “one-click” planning tools and full assortments. Because our industry can be conservative. And because humans love the comfortable sentence: “We’ve always done it this way.” 😅

Curious how to integrate waterless urinals smoothly into your next new build without increasing planning effort

Kennst du das: Du läufst morgens ins Gebäude, alles wirkt frisch – und dann haut dir beim Lavabo oder im Technikraum ein Geruch entgegen, als hätte jemand „Bioabfall-Tag“ im Abfluss gefeiert?

😅 Warum stinken Abflüsse eigentlich so oft?

Hier sind die häufigsten Ursachen – ganz ohne Schuldzuweisung an „die Reinigung“:
1) Der Siphon ist trocken
Wenn ein Ablauf selten genutzt wird (Gäste-WC, Putzraum, Bodenablauf), verdunstet das Wasser im Siphon. Und zack: Der Kanalgeruch hat freie Bahn. Typischer Klassiker in Ferienzeiten oder bei leerstehenden Flächen.

2) Biofilm & Ablagerungen
Seifenreste, Hautfett, Shampoo, Reinigungsmittel – klingt harmlos, wird aber zur perfekten „Duftkerze“ für Bakterien. Das Ergebnis: Biofilm, der munter vor sich hin gast.

3) Unterdruck / falsche Belüftung
Wenn die Entlüftung nicht sauber funktioniert, kann es beim Spülen oder Entwässern zu Unterdruck kommen. Dann wird der Siphon quasi „leer gezogen“ – Geruchsverschluss weg.

4) Undichte Dichtungen oder Mikro-Leckagen
Man sieht’s kaum, aber kleine Undichtigkeiten reichen, damit Geruch austritt. Besonders bei alten Anschlüssen oder provisorischen Lösungen.

Was hilft wirklich? (praxisnah & nachhaltig)
-Regelmässig Wasser nachfüllen (bei selten genutzten Abläufen ein einfacher Wartungsplan)
-Mechanisch reinigen statt nur Chemie (Bürste/Spirale entfernt Biofilm besser als „Duftreiniger“)
-Belüftung/Leitungsführung checken (Sanitärplaner freut sich über klare Befunde)
-Geruchsstopper wie Green Drain: Eine Membran wirkt als Geruchsbarriere, lässt Wasser durch, blockt aber Gerüche – besonders spannend bei Bodenabläufen und selten genutzten Abläufen.

Bereit mal den Green Drain zu Testen, dann melde dich.

Water won’t get cheaper in 2026 – so why are we still talking far too little about sanitary technology in buildings?

Companies love talking about energy, ESG, CO₂, smart buildings, and decarbonization.
But when it comes to water, many still act as if it were endlessly available, inexpensive, and somehow secondary.
That is the mistake.

Because while big sustainability strategies are being discussed, buildings continue to run daily processes that quietly consume resources, create costs, and rarely get questioned.
And of all places, the sanitary area is still often treated like a technical side issue.

Why?
Because nobody likes showing it in presentations?
Because it is not glamorous enough?
Or because too many people still fail to see that this is exactly where operational efficiency, hygiene, and resource conservation come together in the real world?

The truth is:
Anyone still planning in 2026 as if water were not a strategic issue is planning against reality.
Especially in high-traffic buildings, this is where it becomes obvious whether a system is truly well thought out:
-in consumption
-in cleaning effort
-in maintenance
-in user acceptance
-and ultimately in ongoing operating costs
Sustainability does not only show up on the roof, in the façade, or in the ESG report.

It also shows up where many still prefer not to look too closely.
In the restroom.
So the more relevant question is no longer whether we should talk about water efficiency.
It is:
Why are so few people still doing it consistently?

How strategically is water already being considered in your projects today?

How many CHF are you literally burning every month—just because “we’ve always done it this way”?

The global situation is volatile: energy markets, supply chains, inflation, FX pressure—things can shift fast. Swiss SMEs feel it immediately: OPEX up, planning confidence down, everyone in firefighting mode.

The good news: you don’t need a mega capex project to cut operating costs. You need focus, discipline, and a few “unsexy” moves that work.

At URIMAT, we stay calm, we monitor the signals—but we also act with a simple rule: Quick wins first, then structure, then smart investment.

Here are concrete levers that almost always pay off:

-LED & lighting control: Why is light on in areas where nobody is? Switching to LED + occupancy sensors + zoning can cut electricity use noticeably—without turning your building into a “buzzword factory.”
-Heating & cooling: Drop setpoints by 1–2°C in winter, tighten schedules, enable night setbacks, and check hydraulic balancing. Not glamorous—just effective. Comfort usually suffers far less than people fear.
-Water saving (where it actually matters): Leaky taps, excessive flush volumes, inefficient fixtures—this adds up fast. Measure consumption and reduce it. You save twice: water + energy (hot water is expensive).
-Standby killers: Server rooms, printers, pantries, workshops—“always on” is the most expensive operating mode. Define shutdown rules and automate where possible.
-Maintenance vs. emergencies: Filters, seals, valves, sensors—small issues become big invoices if ignored. Preventive maintenance isn’t “cost”—it’s a cheap insurance premium.

If you don’t control operating costs, you’re not an “efficient SME”—you’re simply an expensive one.

So what do we do at URIMAT?

We think mid- to long-term and plan scenarios: What if energy jumps another 20%? What if the CHF strengthens further? What if customers demand ESG data through the supply chain? If you’ve prepared, you don’t panic—you execute a clear 30/60/90-day plan.

💡 Does an SME really need a modern ERP/CRM system – or is Excel actually still enough?

We at URIMAT asked ourselves this question quite deliberately just over a year ago. The honest answer: Excel, standalone solutions and paper-based processes work… until they suddenly stop working. At the very latest when service, sales, logistics and administration all grow at the same time, transparency becomes a real challenge.

Today – three months after the launch of our new Odoo ERP/CRM system – we can say: we have no regrets. Quite the opposite.

Together with our implementation partner twio.tech • Odoo Experts, we have delivered a project that many companies underestimate: the complete ERP and CRM transformation of a running business. And now for the cheeky bit:
👉 The project was even completed under budget.

Why did it work?
Not because of the software alone – but because of the people behind it.
A huge thank you to all URIMAT staff who contributed with incredible dedication to tests, workshops, data migrations and process definitions. Anyone who has ever implemented an ERP system knows: this is not an IT project. It is a company-wide project.

And the results speak for themselves:
✔ Service processes fully digitised
✔ Massive reduction in paper in day-to-day operations
✔ Centralised database for sales, service and administration, and in future also for the website and e-commerce
✔ Greater transparency regarding customers, systems and maintenance

Of course, not everything is perfect yet. A few minor tweaks are still needed – for example, automatic postal labels generated directly from Odoo with integrated tracking. The final touches are still missing.
But that is precisely the advantage of a modern system: it evolves alongside the business.

Our key insight after 3 months of ERP implementation:
Digitalisation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s process optimisation in action.

👉 Which of you has already implemented an ERP project – and what was your biggest surprise along the way?

What if the biggest “luxury upgrade” in your hotel isn’t in the lobby… but in the restroom?

Sounds absurd? Good. Because the most ignored room in hospitality is also one of the most used — and it quietly shapes guest satisfaction, hygiene perception, and your sustainability metrics.

This year, URIMAT Schweiz AG is heading to Hotel & Restaurant One to One Meetings France (Cannes) — and we’re coming back with a bold goal: to win the award again with our unisex waterless urinal. 🏆🚽

And yes, we’ve got a man on a mission: our colleague Daniel Hausherr is going all in to bring that prize home for URIMAT. No pressure, Daniel… just our reputation, our ego, and a tiny bit of Swiss precision on the line. 😉

Let’s be honest:
A “premium” bathroom that flushes drinking-quality water down the drain… is basically a contradiction in marble.

Waterless unisex urinals are one of those rare upgrades that hit multiple targets at once:
-Water saving without asking guests to “behave differently”
-Lower operating costs through reduced water consumption
-Facility management friendly: fewer flush-related issues, simpler infrastructure
-A real, measurable lever for ESG / sustainability reporting

If you’re investing in green labels but still flushing thousands of litres daily “because that’s how it’s always been”… are you optimising — or just decorating?

If you’re a Facility Manager, Sustainability Manager, GM, architect, or MEP / sanitary planner: let’s talk real-world impact, not buzzwords.

➡️ Want to meet in Cannes and challenge your bathroom assumptions? Drop us a DM — Daniel and the team would love to exchange ideas (and maybe celebrate a trophy moment).
