Products That Protect
Water is a vital resource that sustains all life on our planet, yet its scarcity and potential dangers cannot be ignored. At Watts, we recognize the critical role our products and solutions play in protecting our precious water resources and the communities that rely on them. For over 150 years, we have been a trusted partner to our customers, providing innovative and sustainable products that tackle their most pressing water safety challenges.
Our commitment to sustainability is grounded in three core principles: Safety and Regulation, Water Conservation, and Energy Efficiency. By prioritizing these three elements as a “triple-play” strategy, we are dedicated to creating products that not only ensure the safe and proper management of water but also reduce our impact on the environment.

Product Sustainability
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
At Watts, we focus on understanding the environmental impact of our product portfolio throughout its entire life cycle to enhance sustainability. We've advanced our commitment to life cycle assessments (LCAs) and product transparency through extensive LCA projects. We conducted an LCA for all products manufactured at our Franklin, NH, USA plant, covering key products like backflow preventers, regulators, and mixing valves. Adhering to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 guidelines, and reviewed by a third party, this LCA helps us understand the environmental impact of our materials and processes, informing improvements and supporting green building projects.
BLÜCHER Leading the Charge
BLÜCHER, HygienicPro has revolutionized drainage at Dubai’s Waterfront Market by significantly enhancing water conservation and energy efficiency. The HygienicPro channel, with its casted grating and smooth surface, reduces water usage by 96.5% compared to traditional drains, thanks to its design that prevents dirt buildup and requires less water for cleaning. Complemented by the HygienicClean system, which is tailored to work with HygienicPro, the market achieves substantial water savings and maintains high hygiene standards, aligning with sustainability goals.
Packaging Sustainability
Since 2017, the Watts Global Sourcing Team has been conducting thorough audits of our packaging practices. As a result, we have reduced our use of plastic and chemical protective packaging materials by over 80%. In 2024, more than 90% of all packaging boxes shipped to customers in the Americas were created using a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content, with crates constructed from low-grade, non-consumer wood.
