WWHRS Shower Tray Initiative
The Impact of Sustainability Ambassadors in Promoting Sustainable Practices:
Sustainability Ambassadors play a crucial role in driving positive change and advancing sustainable practices. By promoting the adoption of WWHRS Shower Trays and raising environmental awareness, they can have a significant impact on reducing CO2 emissions, conserving energy, and creating a more sustainable future.
For example, let’s consider the potential CO2 savings achieved by installing WWHRS Shower Trays in 10% of households in the UK. Assuming the average annual CO2 savings per household is 350 kg, we can estimate the cumulative impact.
According to statistics, the total number of households in the UK is approximately 29 million. If 10% of these households (2.9 million) installed WWHRS Shower Trays, the estimated annual CO2 savings would be:
2.9 million households * 350 kg CO2 = 1,015,000,000 kg CO2
This translates to a significant reduction of over 1 million metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. To put it into perspective, this is equivalent to removing a substantial number of cars from the roads or reducing emissions from industrial processes.
Let´s provide some examples to further illustrate the potential impact of the CO2 savings achieved through the installation of WWHRS Shower Trays, comparing them to cars and industrial emissions:
Equivalent to removing cars from the roads:
On average, a passenger car emits around 2.3 metric tons of CO2 per year.
If we compare the estimated annual CO2 savings of 1,015,000,000 kg (1 million metric tons) achieved through the widespread installation of WWHRS Shower Trays, this would be equivalent to removing approximately 434,783 cars from the roads annually.
This calculation is based on dividing the CO2 savings (1 million metric tons) by the average annual CO2 emissions per car (2.3 metric tons).
Equivalent to reducing emissions from industrial processes:
Industrial emissions can vary widely depending on the sector and processes involved. Let’s consider a conservative estimate.
The emissions intensity of industrial processes is often measured in terms of CO2 emissions per unit of output or production.
If we assume a conservative estimate of 1 metric ton of CO2 emissions per $1 million of industrial output, we can make a rough comparison.
With the estimated annual CO2 savings of 1,015,000,000 kg (1 million metric tons) achieved through the installation of WWHRS Shower Trays, this would be equivalent to reducing emissions from industrial processes by approximately $1 billion worth of industrial output.
This calculation is based on dividing the CO2 savings (1 million metric tons) by the emissions intensity per unit of industrial output ($1 million per metric ton of CO2 emissions).
These examples highlight the significant positive impact that the widespread adoption of WWHRS Shower Trays can have on reducing CO2 emissions, comparable to the removal of cars from the roads or the reduction of emissions from industrial processes.
