Well, I’m glad you asked. 

It’s a hot topic at the moment, and you’ve probably heard the word “grey water” thrown around quite a lot. And rightfully so, because it’s more important than ever to be hyper aware of our environmental impacts and how we can decrease them. You’ve stopped using straws and you’ve started donating your clothing, good for you. But now it’s time to take the next step – it’s time to educate yourself on grey water.

So what is grey water?

Grey water is the waste water from showers, washing machines, baths, and hand basins. Water from dishwashers and kitchen sinks is often referred to as dark grey water, because it has a higher load of chemicals, fats, and other organic matter. Meanwhile, water from toilets is called blackwater.

It’s believed that just over 50% of household water used could be recycled as grey water, saving potentially hundreds of litres of water per day. Grey water can be used in your garden and also re-used in urban water systems, for example when you flush the toilet. This reduces unnecessary freshwater extraction from rivers and waterways, while reducing energy use and chemical pollution. 

So you can clearly see that the products you choose have a direct impact on the world around you. Enter in… our grey water approved products.
