The primary federal law in the U.S. governing water pollution, the establishment of the Clean Water Act in 1972 was a great step forward in the country’s water conservation movement. Committed to innovation and passionate about water, Hansgrohe is a firm believer in eco-conscious advancements like the CWA. An industry pioneer in sustainability and environmental protection, the company brings more than 30 years of eco-friendly product development to the market and is alongstanding partner in the EPA’s WaterSense® program. It has a company goal of reducing its water use in products and manufacturing 10% by 2014. Beyond being a catalyst for creativity, Hansgrohe hopes its “For the Love of Water” contest will serve as a reminder that we must safeguard the precious resource. In addition to the contest, Hansgrohe will show its continued efforts to preserve water by donating$5,000 each to the nonprofit Riverkeeper organizations for the Atlanta region and NYC area.
