LCA & material health results & interpretation Standard-R and Standard-S Faucet Series
Evaluation programs
Declare
Declare labels are issued to products disclosing ingredient inventory, sourcing, and end of life options. Declare labels are based on the Manufacturers Guide to Declare, administered by the International Living Future Institute.
How it works
Material ingredients are inventoried and screened against the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List which represents the ‘worst in class’ materials, chemicals, and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem.
The Declare product database and label are used to select products that meet the Living Building Challenge's stringent materials requirements, streamlining the materials specification and certification process.

What's in this product and why
Declare level
'Declared' is awarded to products when all the ingredients name and CAS numbers have been disclosed. 100% disclosure qualifies the product for the LEED v4 building product disclosure and optimization - material ingredients credit option 1.
What's in the product and why
The spout assembly includes polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC is used in plumbing applications where corrosion-resistance and durability are required. The spout in its final form does not represent any hazards to the user.
The TOTO facility in which the faucet is manufactured is ISO 14001 certified. This means that the facility has implemented an environmental management system as part of TOTO's commitment to the health of the environment.
Where it goes at the end of its life
TOTO encourages consumers to recycle their used faucet and faucet parts. Contact your local municipality for recycling programs.
How we're making it healthier
The EcoPower technology enables the faucet to operate off the energy grid and requires no routine battery replacement. This technology helps to reduce pollution and hazardous waste, thereby mitigating human health impacts.
