How we make it greener Chinaware CT728CU
Waste heat from the kilns is routed to the product dryer. This reduces 15% natural gas consumption.
TOTO is taking additional steps at its other facilities, outside of Vietnam, Indonesia, and India, to reduce potential environmental impacts. For example, TOTO's Morrow plant matches 100% of its electricity usage through Georgia Power Simple Solar and helps grow solar energy. 14 million kilowatt hours of green energy helps reduce 18.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide equivalents each year.
In another example of TOTO's energy savings outside of Vietnam and Indonesia, 0.45 million gallons per month of greywater is used in TOTO Morrow's operations. 1,620 of kWh in energy per month is reduced due to less potable water.
65% of all cardboard used is 100% recycled content.
One-piece toilets are shipped with every other toilet upside down, increasing the fill rate of a truck trailer and cutting transportation cost in half.
UPS parcel shipments are carbon neutral. TOTO is a registered SmartWay® Transport Partner.
The dual flush system reduces water in the use phase.
Utilizing the same proven engineering as our legendary 1.6 GPF G-Max flushing system, the 1.28 GPF E-Max and 1.0 GPF ultra-low flushing systems, such as Tornado Flush™ and Siphon Jet Flush, reinforce TOTO's performance reputation while offering an additional water savings of 20% and 38% respectively.

Insulation glossary
| Amount | Total amount of either square footage (SF) or lineal footage (LF) required to complete the project |
| ASJ+ - all service jacket | Aluminum foil, reinforced with a glass scrim bonded to a kraft paper interleaving with an outer film layer leaving no paper exposed. |
| BTU (British Thermal Unit) | Heat required to raise temperature of one pound of water by one degree; around the same amount of energy released by one wooden match. |
| Cavity depth | Depth of either wood or metal framing components used to determine the amount of insulation that can be installed within a given cavity. |
| Class I vapor retarder | 0.1 perm or less |
| Class II vapor retarder | 1.0 perm or less |
| Class III vapor retarder | 10 perm or less |
| Closed blow | A netted application of loosefill insulation where the net holds the insulation in place during installation and remains in place for the life of the system |
| C-value | Heat flow property, conductance, of a product at a given thickness. The lower the C, the better the insulator. |
| Density | Amount of solid material, expressed in pounds per cubic foot (PCF). |
| Emittance | Used for measuring the resistance of a material to radiative heat transfer. Typical values are 0.02 - 1, with the lower values being better radiant barriers. |
| Facer | Covering adhered to base glass mineral wool material. Used primarily as a vapor retarder, and secondarily for cleanability, color, or integral structural components. |
| FSK- foil scrim kraft | Laminate composed of thin layer of aluminum foil, glass fiber reinforcing scrim, and kraft paper. |
| Installed R-value (Duct wrap) | Laminate composed of thin layer of aluminum foil, glass fiber reinforcing scrim, and kraft paper. |
| K-value | Heat flow thickness of a homogeneous material. The lower the k, the better the insulator. |
| Open blow | Loosefill insulation with integral adhesive, directly applied to the wall cavity without need for additional netting |
| Perm | Unit of permeance of water vapor transmission where a difference in pressure exists on either side of a material or membrane (US perm = 1 grain of water vapor per hour, per square foot, per inch of mercury). |
| Pipe size | Pipe sizes are expressed in imperial units for either iron pipe (Iron Pipe Size - IPS) or copper tube size (CTS) |
| PSK- poly scrim kraft | String reinforced polyethylene kraft facing. |
| R-value | Ability of material, or building section to retard heat flow. The higher the R, the better the insulator. |
| U-value | Heat flow property of an entire building section. The lower the U, the better the insulating value. |
| Vapor retarder | Thin layer of material varying in permeance, included in building construction to slow moisture migration. Vapor retarders are split into three classes. |
