IBERSOL Sustainability Report 2017

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2017 Water Water usage could become a critical point for any company or organisation and the environment, if it is not carefullymanaged. For the Ibersol Group, a resource as precious and vital as water is seen as a priority, and efficient management thereof as bringing added value. Pre-rinse spray taps The installation of high-efficiency pre-rinse spray taps has made a signi- ficant contribution to efficient water management, given that they are incredibly effective in removing traces of food, thus reducing washing time in dishwashers and the subsequent use of hot water, with the inherent water and electricity savings. Dishwashers In our kitchens, dishwashers are preferably used with full loads and, whe- never possible, using pre-heated water from solar thermal collectors. This allows us to, on the one hand, reduce the number of wash cycles and, on the other, decrease the boiler’s water heating time, which leads to a significant decrease in water and power consumption.
