17 Jun WhiffAway Waterless Urinal Solutions: Global Impact at Scale

Milestone figures only matter when they show real progress in the environments they are designed to support. For WhiffAway, the latest numbers reflect the long-term impact of practical washroom solutions used across commercial and public facilities worldwide.

This May, WhiffAway Group shared milestones worth recognising. WhiffAway waterless urinal solutions and wider washroom products are now utilised by over 1 billion people per year. The Group’s water saving systems have conserved 750,000,000 m³ of water and 258,000,000 kgCO₂e of embedded carbon. They have also helped global industry save more than £2.5 billion annually through reduced water use, lower maintenance demands and improved washroom efficiency.

These are not forecasts or targets. They reflect the result of long-term work across washrooms, facilities, customers, suppliers and partners.

The Scale Behind 1 Billion Annual Users

A billion annual users shows how widely WhiffAway solutions are now being adopted across global washroom environments. It also highlights the growing demand for systems that support hygiene, water efficiency and practical facility management at scale.

That reach is built through a wider portfolio of waterless urinal products, hygiene solutions, smart controls and water management tools. Together, these systems help improve washroom performance across commercial and public facilities.

What 750 Million m³ of Water Saving Represents

750 million cubic metres is a significant water saving, but its real value lies in what it prevents: unnecessary flushing, avoidable water waste and higher operational costs.

Standard urinals can use large volumes of water over time, especially in busy commercial buildings. For facilities teams looking to reduce water usage in commercial buildings, waterless systems offer a practical route to measurable savings.

Across thousands of sites and millions of daily uses, the results compound quickly. This is commercial water saving at a scale that can make a meaningful operational difference.

Carbon Savings That Strengthen the Sustainability Case

The 258,000,000 kgCO₂e figure is a key part of the wider sustainability impact.

Embedded carbon in water systems relates to the energy used to treat, move and manage water through infrastructure. When water use is reduced, the associated energy demand can also be reduced.

For organisations working on ESG performance, net zero goals or more efficient facilities management, WhiffAway waterless urinal systems can support both operational washroom performance and broader sustainability planning.

£2.5 Billion in Annual Savings for Global Industry

The £2.5 billion annual saving reflects the combined value of reduced water bills, lower maintenance requirements, fewer plumbing callouts and longer asset lifecycles.

For facilities managers, waterless urinals UK and global installations show how washroom upgrades can support both environmental and financial goals without needing major infrastructure changes.

How a Smart Washroom System Adds to the Impact

Waterless urinals form part of a wider approach to smarter washroom performance. WhiffAway’s smart washroom system helps facility teams monitor washroom activity, understand usage patterns and manage maintenance more effectively.

This supports a shift from reactive maintenance to more planned, preventive washroom management. When combined with waterless fixtures and hygiene solutions, smart washroom management can help facilities improve efficiency across their wider estate.

Advancing Smarter Washroom Performance Worldwide

WhiffAway continues to expand its solutions across global markets, with a focus on water conservation, washroom performance and smarter facilities management.

These milestones show what is already possible when reliable washroom systems are used consistently and at scale.
