Company

The strength and success of Caroma has been built on the foundations of innovation, water conservation and quality. Caroma was the first company in the world to develop the 6/3 liter, dual flush technology. This technology was released in 1993 and set a new benchmark in water conservation in the sanitary ware industry and has made a significant impact on the reduction of water usage in commercial and domestic bathroom applications. Since the introduction of the 6/3 liter dual flush system Caroma has exported it to over 30 countries worldwide. Globally Caroma is considered the leader in reduced flush technology.

 

Caroma toilets offer a patented dual flush technology consisting of a 0.8 gallon flush for liquid and paper waste and a 1.6 gallon flush for solids. Caroma toilets can save up to 72% (approx. 18,000 gallons) of annual water usage compared to the traditional 3.5-gallon flush and up to 40% (approx. 4600 gallons) compared to today's standard 1.6 gallon single flush toilets.

 

Caroma holds licences issued by Environmental Protection Authorities and Water Authorities that specify limits for discharges to the environment, which arise from the operations of entities that it controls. These licences regulate the management of discharge to air, storm water run-off, removal and transport of waste associated with the manufacturing operations in Australia and the Netherlands. Caroma also conducts reviews of external suppliers. Where appropriate, an independent review of the company's compliance with licence conditions is made by external advisors.

 

Caroma's controlling entity, GWA International Ltd (GWAIL), through its corporate risk management and compliance group, aims to ensure that the highest standard of environmental care is achieved and is continually seeking new ways to maintain and improve these high standards both with the products it produces and within GWA manufacturing operations. GWAIL and its employees will ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to lessen our impact on the environment.
