Sustainability
A fundamental priority
Our Commitment to Conservation
Water is one of Earth’s most valuable resources. It is essential for life, which is why water conservation is a fundamental priority at I-CON.
According to the EPA, American households waste a combined 900 billion gallons of water each year—enough to fill approximately 900,000 swimming pools. This waste has far-reaching impacts, affecting everything from personal utility bills to the health of our planet. At I-CON, our products have already saved billions of gallons of water, and we are committed to expanding that impact in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.
I-CON’s commitment to conservation helps reduce waste and preserve natural resources by lowering the demand for incoming water, heated water, and sewage.
Over the past 25 years, customers who have retrofitted their facilities with I-CON products have typically reduced water usage by 65% to 75% per fixture, with some facilities reporting up to an 80% reduction per fixture. The per fixture savings result in facilities' overall water usage going down 40% to 60%. Thanks to those kinds of savings, other expenses, like sewer lift station upgrades, have been indefinitely postponed.
The average correctional facility uses 35,040,000 gallons of water every year. With our products, facilities save 14,600,000 gallons annually. That adds up fast. Across all of the correctional facilities using I-CON products, our systems save over 5 billion gallons of water every year and save taxpayers over $30 million dollars annually.
With I-CON's COBALT® series of products, the commitment and savings continue.
The COBALT® series flush valves lead the industry in accuracy and performance with their simple, powerful flush. Whether you retrofit a competitor's valve with the COBALT® retrofit or install a new COBALT Pro® flush valve, the water savings can quickly reach over 30% on every flush valve installed.
