IKEA and Flow loop have been collaborating since March 2020 to develop an innovative water recycling shower solution that can be retrofitted in existing shower spaces. The aim is to make it easy and affordable for people to save both water and energy without compromising the shower experience.
“At IKEA, we know that we have a responsibility and an opportunity to lead and influence a movement for efficient and more sustainable water usage. This is not something that we achieve on our own. Flow Loop is a company with great passion to make positive impact on society and the environment with their innovative shower solutions”, says Robert Carleke, Innovation Ventures Manager at IKEA of Sweden. “Our water innovation team has made great progress together with Flow Loop during the last two years’ collaboration on our journey to make this ‘shower of the future’ affordable and accessible to as many customers as possible. We are delighted to have made a minority investment to accelerate the joint product development. This is a win-win so that we can bring ideas into action.”
This collaboration is an important part of the IKEA commitment to develop innovative solutions that enable water saving in the home. By recycling and cleaning the shower water in a closed loop, the solution can reduce water usage of up to 80% and generate energy savings of up to 70% compared to a normal shower. The IKEA version of the shower is still in developing and testing phase, while Flow Loop is starting sales of its first product this summer.
