Water-saving
and resource-efficient
Durable Products
Water is essential for nutrition, hygiene and cleaning or as a means of transportation. With durable, innovative and resource-saving sanitary products, we make a positive contribution to the industry, society and the environment – and have been doing so for more than 150 years.
Product Features
Designed with durability in mind
Thanks to their top-class materials and strict quality requirements, Geberit products have a service life spanning several decades. Furthermore, they are usually backwards-compatible and can be cleaned, maintained and repaired easily.
Water-saving solutions
Geberit has a long tradition in the manufacture of water-saving products, particularly WC cisterns and their components. According to a model calculation, water consumption for toilet flushing has decreased since 1952 by around 80% from 70 litres to 14 litres per person per day thanks to the dual-flush and stop- and-go cisterns.
Ecodesign
More than 200 ecodesign products
Geberit has consistently been developing products in line with the ecodesign principle since 2007. In total, more than 200 new products have been developed or optimised in accordance with this principle since ecodesign was introduced.
Ecodesign
Careful handling of resources
The use of recycled plastics is constantly being promoted. The share of purchased plastic regranulate (post-consumer waste) is to be continuously increased. Furthermore, Geberit participates in the Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) initiative. This international initiative is dedicated to avoiding the loss of plastic granules and ensuring that these materials do not pollute the environment.
Reducing the amount of waste
Reducing the amount of waste is a central part of Geberit’s commitment to sustainability. We can achieve most in production: with almost 394,000 tonnes of material processed in 2025, nearly 60,000 tonnes of waste were generated, of which 78% was recycled. Since 2015, the amount of waste in production has already fallen by more than a quarter.
Compact Packaging
Geberit pays attention to using as little packaging material as possible. Step by step, the company is redesigning its packaging and reducing the amount of material required, without compromising on product protection. Geberit’s packaging strategy aims to ensure that plastic packaging must contain at least 35% recycled material by 2030. In addition, 70% of the material used should be recyclable.
Reduction of CO2 emissions
Geberit has been reducing its carbon footprint systematically for years now. Since the acquisition of the energy-intensive ceramics production in 2015, relative CO2 emissions have been able to be reduced by 69.3% overall, which corresponds to an average reduction in relative CO2 emissions of 11.1% per year.
Certified Production and Logistics
All production plants of the Geberit Group, all sites in China, the logistics centre in Pfullendorf (DE), and the management company incorporating all Group functions at headquarters in Rapperswil-Jona (CH) are certified in accordance with the standards ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety). In addition, eight plants are certified in accordance with ISO 50001 (energy) and eight sales companies in accordance with ISO 9001 (quality).
Social commitment
Geberit assumes social responsibility. We create fair opportunities on the job market and long-term career perspectives. In addition, we are engaged in vocational education projects in the sanitary industry and improve access to clean water and the sanitary infrastructure in countries of the Global South. At the production sites, Geberit works together with social workshops and creates inclusive job opportunities for people with disabilities. This strengthens employment opportunities and improves quality of life in the long term.
