Turning The Tide : How DCB Conserved Over 6.8 Million Liters Of Water

Overview

DCB Bank, a leading private-sector bank in India, has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability by implementing Zerodor's waterless urinal technology across its facilities. This initiative has resulted in significant water conservation, with the bank saving over 6.8 million liters of water annually—enough to meet the annual drinking water needs of over 3 million people Ekam Eco Solutions. 

The Challenge

Traditional urinals consume between 1 to 4 liters of water per use, leading to substantial water wastage in commercial and institutional settings. For organizations like DCB Bank with multiple facilities, this translates to millions of liters of water used annually for flushing alone. Additionally, the associated costs of water supply, sewage treatment, and maintenance are significant. 

The Solution: Zerodor Waterless Urinals 

Zerodor, developed by Ekam Eco Solutions—a research spin-off from IIT Delhi—offers a patented waterless urinal technology that eliminates the need for water flushing. The system uses a specialized sealing liquid that prevents odors without the use of chemicals or cartridges. This innovation not only conserves water but also reduces maintenance costs and enhances hygiene standards Zerodor.in. 

Implementation at DCB Bank 

DCB Bank partnered with Ekam Eco Solutions to install Zerodor waterless urinals across its facilities. The implementation process involved retrofitting existing urinals with Zerodor's technology, resulting in immediate water savings and operational efficiencies. The bank's Managing Director & CEO, Murali Natrajan, highlighted that this initiative reinforced their commitment to sustainability and responsible resource use Ekam Eco Solutions.
