Quooker, the pioneer of the 100°C boiling water tap, continues to revolutionise the modern kitchen with its all-in-one system that delivers instant boiling, hot, cold, filtered chilled and sparkling water from a single tap. Designed to eliminate clutter and simplify everyday living, Quooker removes the need for kettles and bottled water, freeing up space while reducing energy consumption and reliance on single-use plastic. Every function is filtered to ensure great-tasting drinking water, while patented high-vacuum insulation technology guarantees exceptional energy efficiency. With childproof handles and an insulated spout, safety is seamlessly integrated into its sophisticated, premium design.

March 18 is Global Recycling Day: With new solutions for water, packaging and plastics, the Hansgrohe Group is taking a further step towards a sustainable circular economy. As an innovation and marketing accelerator, it relies on start-up commitments and cooperation with innovative technology partners.

Gray Water Recycling with Hydraloop
In collaboration with the Dutch WaterTech company Hydraloop, Hansgrohe is presenting a modern graywater recycling system at the ISH 2025 trade fair. The Hydraloop systems use cutting-edge technology with an IoT connection to efficiently treat wastewater from showers, washing machines and air conditioning systems – known as grey water – for reuse. The compact system produces high-quality recycled water for non-drinking water applications, such as toilet flushing and garden irrigation. It is particularly suitable for commercial, public or semi-public buildings such as hotels, authorities or office complexes. Water-saving solutions are particularly effective in such buildings due to the higher water consumption. In addition, it is precisely in these building segments that there are more and more requirements for sustainable, certified construction.

Heat Recovery During Showering
Hansgrohe is also developing innovative and user-friendly solutions for heat recovery in showers. This involves systems that are easy to retrofit, as well as technology for the renovation and new construction of showers and bathrooms. The functional principle is based on that of a heat exchanger: the warm shower water that flows out is used to heat further cold water for showering.

Showers in a Closed Loop
Another product concept being researched by the Hansgrohe InnoLab team aims to exploit the potential of circular water use: in the circular shower concept, the used shower water is cleaned, reheated and reused in the cycle. Even if the regulations in many countries do not currently provide for treated water for showers, the requirements could change in future in view of the shortage of fresh water. A technically mature and safe technology could then be a welcome solution in the respective market.

Switching to Paper Packaging
Goodbye plastic: Hansgrohe is switching all new product packaging worldwide to paper alternatives by the end of 2025. The cardboard packaging used is fully recyclable and reduces plastic waste. Smaller and more space-saving packaging variations have a positive impact on transport and storage logistics. Paper is particularly sustainable as it can be recycled up to 25 times, thus enjoying a high recycling rate within Europe.

Recycling of Galvanized Plastics
At the Offenburg/Elgersweier production site, Hansgrohe has been operating a globally unique recycling machine for chrome-plated plastic components since mid-2024. By means of electro-hydraulic shredding and subsequent magnetic separation, ABS plastics are freed from their chrome layer and reused directly in production. In this way, around 100 tons of plastic can be recycled every year and used for – in purely mathematical terms – one million new hand-held showers. One example of this is the award-winning Pulsify Planet Edition hand-held shower, which consists largely of recycled plastic. The innovative recyclites have a purity of 99.8 percent and are obtained using an environmentally friendly process that does not use any chemicals or other harmful substances.
With these measures, Hansgrohe is strengthening its green transformation and closing material cycles for a more sustainable future. Further circular economy projects are in the pipeline. “Particularly in the area of WaterTech, we feel challenged to achieve even more water and energy savings. Our goal is to provide our customers with relaxed moments of well-being, without a guilty conscience towards the environment,” says Hans Jürgen Kalmbach, Chairman of the Executive Board of Hansgrohe SE.

The Hansgrohe Group was once again successful at the world’s leading trade fair for sanitary, heating and air-conditioning technology (ISH) in Frankfurt. 163,000 visitors from Germany and all over the world came to the Frankfurt exhibition halls – 6 percent more than at ISH 2023. With a focus on sustainability, design and customer orientation, the company presented new product innovations of the AXOR and Hansgrohe brands on 2,000 square meters in the “Festhalle”. Special attention was also paid to the “Sustainable Living” area, with forward-looking solutions for the responsible use of water.

Multiple Awards for Technology, Design and Service
The Hansgrohe Group has been honored with awards in the areas of sustainability, design and service. A product presentation was honored with a major award: The Architeller Award for the collaboration with Hydraloop recognizes a commitment to sustainability and responsible use of water. The compact, cupboard-sized treatment system collects wastewater from showers, bathtubs, washing machines and condensation from heat pumps, air conditioners and clothes dryers, known as gray water, and cleans and disinfects it using an innovative biological process. In addition to the technological developments, the designs of the premium brand Hansgrohe were also honored: Hansgrohe Raindance Alive and Avalegra AquaUnit received two of the three iF Gold Awards in the sanitary category. The Best of SHK Award honored the Hansgrohe iClub concept for the exchange of experiences with first place in the Marketing category. “We are particularly proud of this award because we won it through a reader vote. This means that our target group itself decided that our concept offers real added value. This is both an incentive and motivation for us to continue developing the Hansgrohe iClub”, says Lara Henk, Project Lead Marketing Hansgrohe Germany, who networks customers from all over Germany via the Hansgrohe iClub. The successes achieved were celebrated at the evening Hans Party on Monday and Wednesday at the stand.

Resource-Saving Solutions and Excellent Design Attract Visitor
The further development of the “Sustainable Living” area, which showcased innovative ways of saving water and energy and recovering it, aroused great interest. Hydraloop, the innovative gray water recycling system, also met with great interest from visitors to the trade fair. At the same time, the AXOR design brand impressed with the new AXOR ShowerSphere shower collection in collaboration with Antonio Citterio. The Hansgrohe brand presented pioneering complete solutions for all areas of the modern bathroom under the motto “Life is waterful”. Among other things, the premium brand presented Avalegra AquaUnit, a completely new product category: the innovation represents a symbiosis of faucet and washbasin. “Excellent products, emotional brand messages and a fantastic trade fair stand – a formula for success to inspire our customers and partners”, summarizes CEO Hans Jürgen Kalmbach and adds: “But an essential part is missing: without the many employees, the ISH would not be possible. On behalf of the entire Management Board, I would therefore like to thank all of our colleagues who have worked so dedicatedly on the preparation and implementation of ISH and in the plants”.

The Pantone Color Institute has announced 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as its Color of the Year for 2025. This rich, chocolatey brown, praised for its warmth and inviting nature, beautifully complements Officine Gullo’s legacy of artisanal craftsmanship and timeless design.

Mocha Mousse: A New Standard in Elegance
Mocha Mousse embodies the concept of “little treat culture”, emphasizing the beauty of simple indulgences. Its mellow tone harmonizes effortlessly with the premium materials and bespoke details that define Officine Gullo’s creations, enhancing interiors with a sense of comfort and refinement. “Brown tones, once associated with rusticity, have transformed into a sophisticated palette”, says Pantone Color Institute Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman. With its elegant softness, Mocha Mousse continues the tactile legacy of 2024’s Peach Fuzz while introducing a richer, grounded quality. Its versatility makes it ideal for various styles, combining lush sophistication with a natural, organic sensibility.
“It’s an unpretentious classic”, Eiseman notes, highlighting its enduring appeal and adaptability.
Bringing Mocha Mousse to Life in the Kitchen
A touch of Mocha Mousse infuses the kitchen with understated vibrancy. This hue creates an atmosphere of warmth and connection, transforming the heart of the home into a space that balances elegance and comfort. Officine Gullo’s dedication to luxury craftsmanship allows this shade to take center stage, offering a perfect blend of modern sensibility and timeless allure.

Slender, elegant and exceptionally refined, AXOR Citterio C reinterprets the washbasin faucet for a new era, one that demands ever more comfort and individuality from ever smaller bathroom spaces. Minimalist in spirit, with soft contours and a sensuous form, the faucet invites the touch while intriguing the eye from every angle. Its signature detail, a fine chamfer encircling the outlet and lever handle, extends to all pieces in the collection. Distinctive yet understated, AXOR Citterio C is at home in any bathroom ambience. For those who wish to make a more personal statement, handles are available in the unique cubic cut pattern as standard and other predefined textured patterns via AXOR Signature, as well as in the full range of AXOR FinishPlus surfaces.

A shower is a very intimate space, and it must be flexible and adaptable to an individual’s needs. Designed by world-renowned creator Philippe Starck, AXOR ShowerComposition introduces a striking new universal design language, modern and timeless, to the shower area. The program features sleek, flat surfaces and ultra-slim profiles in an architectonic composition that presents novel possibilities for individual expression. Whether as an all-in-one shower panel or a personalized arrangement of floating modules, AXOR ShowerComposition offers exceptional performance, including immersive PowderRain spray mode overhead and PowderRain shoulder showers with angle adjustment. AXOR ShowerComposition provides the maximum of services by using the minimum of matter.

Reflecting Uniqueness
AXOR ShowerComposition features a reduced, rectilinear design, the diminutive depth of the showerhead and vertical panels, which extend just 10mm from the wall, counterbalanced by their generous width. While the easy-to-install shower panel offers full functionality in one single basic set, individual shower modules can be composed and arranged for a truly personalized shower experience. “With the new AXOR ShowerComposition program, we have composed three to four objects in one. That’s what modernity is all about: always doing the minimum to get the maximum”, says Philippe Starck.
Versatile and easy to install, the AXOR ShowerComposition program is available in a variety of configurations. The all-in-one shower panel integrates an overhead shower, a body shower, a thermostatic module and a hand shower as well as a textile-wrapped shower hose. AXOR ShowerComposition is also available as a shower module with a 1-jet overhead shower, a shower module with a 1-jet overhead and a shoulder shower, or a shower module with a 2-jet overhead and a shoulder shower. A separate 1-jet adjustable shoulder shower module offers additional flexibility. The program is available in the full range of exclusive AXOR FinishPlus surfaces, including Matt Black.
In addition to PowderRain, an immersive spray type that cocoons the body in ultra-fine droplets, selected overhead showers incorporate a conical spray. Temperature and water volume are controlled separately through an intuitive interaction design. The dimensions of the AXOR ShowerComposition showers match perfectly with those of the AXOR Universal Rectangular Accessories, ensuring a cohesive design language throughout the shower area. Most of the required components are manufactured in Germany, reducing the program’s CO₂ footprint.
