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.

EcoPower® HE Toilet Flush Valve

What's in this product and why

Declare level

'Living Building Challenge Compliant' is achieved when the product contains Red List ingredients that have been given a temporary exception by the Living Building Challenge due to current market limitations.

What's in the product and why

The electronics used for flush valve operation include circuit board components. The controller, battery, and sensor allow for a self-powered hydroelectric flush valve system while also maintaining a true mechanical flush override. The electronic components are contained within the flush valve body and do not represent any hazards to the user.

The TOTO facility in which the valve 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 lavatory and lavatory parts. Contact your local municipality for recycling programs.

How we're making it healthier

The EcoPower technology enables the flush valve 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.
