Celebrate Earth Day with these Sustainable Products

American Standard’s SpaLet portfolio uses a double water spray system with dual nozzles, and users can also adjust everything from nozzle positioning and water/seat temperature to spray strength via the touch of a button. Switching over to a bidet reduces toilet paper consumption, which also has an impact from an environmental standpoint. The average U.S. household uses more than 250 rolls of toilet paper per year, which requires about 9,000 gallons of water and one whole tree to produce.
Native Trails just launched a new charcoal finish in its NativeStone material for a more sustainable kitchen and bath. By adding jute – a natural, renewable vegetable fiber – to the proprietary concrete blend, Native Trails has reinvented the concrete look that is available in pearl, ash, slate, earth, and the new charcoal finish. NativeStone concrete makes use of natural resources, generates less waste and requires less energy than ordinary concrete production.
Moen’s new Fireclay sinks are composed of 100% eco-friendly and lead-free fireclay, which creates a chip-, heat- and stain-resistant surface that stands up to abrasive cleaners. A deep bowl accommodates many dishes and even large pots and pans and baking sheets, while the thick and durable material aids in minimizing sound during use.
