Water-saving WC pans and flushing devices for medium-sized enterprises
Water-saving WC pans and flushing devices for medium-sized enterprises
Information
A company with 100 employees can save about 300 m3 of fresh water per year by using water-saving WC pans (6 litre volume) and a two-volume flush cistern instead of WC pans with a flushing-water volume of 9 litres.
This leads to a reduction of fresh water consumption by about 40 %. The savings are based on the assumption that each employee uses the toilet 2.5 times a day. Depending on the costs for fresh water and sewage, the cost savings range from € 1 000 to € 2 000 per year.

Citrus residues for renewable energy production
Citrus residues for renewable energy production
Information
Fruit-processing industries are concentrated mainly in southern Europe, and most of them are family businesses or SMEs. They generate vast amounts of fruit residues. Citrus processing, in particular, generates mountains of orange peel which make up some 45-65 % of the original citrus fruit weight. These residues can be processed anaerobically (as a co-substrate) to generate electricity in biogas conversion plants.
