Introduction

ecoBETA focuses on different areas of the world, where water scarcity is one of the crucial issues society needs to take into consideration. A close cooperation with the City of Sharjah, UAE and the City of Abidjan, Ivory Coast shows how to manage water consumption in these areas by using ecoBETA® dual-flush single button devices for toilets.

Sharjah, UAE

ecoBETA has been cooperating with the City of Sharjah in UAE via MEET Environmental Solutions. This vital partnership led to a pilot project back in October 2014 when water saving devices were installed to a building of local government.

A few months ago, ecoBETA received a letter with results: 49.7% overall savings on water consumption, return on investment in just 2.4 months, no damage to any of the water saving devices, and above all, not a single complaint.

We will be continuing a close cooperation in UAE.

Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Another successful pilot project was held in the City of Abidjan, Ivory Coast. In cooperation with our partners, ecoBETA implemented flushing valves to 5 different buildings in 2015. As a result, water consumption in the tested buildings dropped by 38 %.

The remarkable results have attracted a variety of local official as well as private entities and ecoBETA is ready to meet the ascending demand.
