Welcome break gives the eco-cube a test run |
Welcome Break is one of the largest and most established Motorway Services operators in the UK with 26 sites. The familiar Services extend throughout the motorway network covering multiple sites at prime locations, offering the motorist refreshments, amenities, fuel, accommodation and washroom facilities.
Background:
'As some of the busiest sites in the country open 24/7, Welcome Break facilities receive over 6 million visitors a month with predominantly high foot traffic targeted at the washrooms.
For two years, the gents’ washroom urinals had a urinal cartridge system fitted to each of the urinals with water flushing once an hour throughout the day. The cartridges were replaced regularly in order to help combat smells and odours.
Objectives:
The Clients key objective was to reduce its water and sewage costs across the 26 sites, as significantly, fresh water and waste water disposal charges have risen by 15% per annum across the Welcome Break regions. The client also wanted to dramatically reduce the number of urinal issues it was having with pipe work blockages and urinal malodours.

The eco-cube was selected as the product to implement due to its effectiveness in resolving these urinal issues, its simplicity of implementation, operation and its proven cost saving abilities.

After just 6 months of eco-cube being placed in the washroom, Welcome Break have saved:
- 42,942,000 litres of water and waste water
- £73,000 water saving
- 17,341 kg of Co2
Subsidiary benefits have included:
- Large reduction in urinal blockages caused through uric and lime scale build-up
- Elimination of chemicals in the urinal cleaning
- Improved washroom fragrance
- Complete environmental compliance
Testimonial:
‘As one of the UK’s largest Motorway Service Operators with 26 sites our washrooms are some of the very busiest in the country. With the high volume of users, our washrooms have always required a great deal of urinal maintenance and I am now happy to say that since we have been using eco-cube these issues have been dramatically reduced. The cube is also assisting our business in other areas too with a significant 32% reduction in our water consumption and waste water outputs, and at the same time helping us to improve on our environmental integrity.”
