The Unified Water Label Association (UWLA) has celebrated the success of the launch of its ‘Road to Growth’ document at ISH, a trade fair for HVAC and Water which was held in Frankfurt from 17 to 20 March.
UWLA said the document outlines key highlights since the Unified Water Label inception in 2007, milestones that reflect market transformation, and the growth path to reach support from 20,000 products, 22 supporters and 160 brands.
The launch was part of the Pushing Boundaries event which took place at ISH, which brought together key speakers to discuss how the Unified Water Label supports the water resilience agenda.
The association added that almost 60 people attended the event, with the presentations well received. New sustainability criteria from a research project with Keele University was unveiled. This project looks at innovative methods to measure and improve the “repair, reuse, recycle” of brassware, it noted.
Yvonne Orgill, UWLA’s MD, presented a proposed new design for the Unified Water Label and spoke of the factors that have influenced the decision to develop a new label. The proposed new label is available for viewing via the UWLA website.
Carlos Velazquez, UWLA’s president, concluded the event by making a presentation to Yvonne, who retires on 31 March.
Carlos said: “Yvonne will be missed by all, she is a true professional with outstanding vision and drive. We wish her well for her next chapter.”
