HSIL honoured with CII Godrej GBC National Award for Excellence in Water Management

Dec. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- HSIL Limited, the group behind India’s leading sanitaryware brand Hindware, has made yet another achievement with its products ‘Aquafree’ and ‘Nano’ being honoured with the CII GBC ‘Most Innovative Water Saving Products’ award at the 7th edition of the prestigious ‘CII GBC National Award for Excellence in Water Management 2010’.
These awards were organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry with Godrej GBC at the CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre in Hyderabad. The objective of this annual award scheme is to provide national recognition for commitment towards water conservation and facilitate sharing of information by excellent water efficient companies.
Nano Water Closet, the most recent eco-friendly offering from Hindware, comes with an unmatched comfort design and unique foot-press flush mechanism that makes for a germ-free operation. By using only 1.5 litres of water per flush, Nano promises to save thousands of litres of water per annum. This product is targeted for residential and commercial complexes.
Aquafree Urinal is one of Hindware’s innovative eco-friendly products. It is first of its kind waterless urinal in India which uses a revolutionary non-liquid cartridge technology, thus making it a 100% water saving model. This not only vast quantities of water annually but also reduces substantial costs for a building by significantly reducing the number of plumbing fixtures required. Aquafree is ideal for commercial use like in airports and hotels.
Hindware’s other revolutionary water saving models include E-sense urinal and µ-Sense Urinal. These all operate on innovative technologies that make them highly efficient water-conservation products.
On this proud occasion, Mr. Sandip Somany, Joint MD, HSIL Limited, said, “Hindware is a recognised market leader in the sanitary ware segment. We realised the importance of conserving water early on and have made huge investments in setting up a dedicated R&D centre which continuously focuses on creating products which are environment friendly. We are the first company to introduce Aquafree- the waterless eco-friendly urinal and this is bound to create a revolution in India. Hindware’s other latest innovative, eco-friendly offering includes Nano water closet which can save massive volumes of water per year.  This award strengthens our commitment towards water conservation and encourages us to come up with more efficient and innovative products in future as well. ”
Making it one of the most trusted names amongst millions of households across India, some of the long list of Hindware’s recognitions include: ‘The Largest Tile, Ceramic and Sanitaryware Company’ at Construction World Annual Awards 2010, ‘India's 100 Most Valuable Brands’ by 4Ps magazine and ICMR, ‘Consumer Superbrand’ by the Super Brand Council in 2009 and ‘Business Superbrand’ in 2010, ‘Reader’s Digest Platinum Trusted Brand 2009’, ‘2010 IMM Award for Excellence’, and many more.
