LCA & material health results & interpretation WASHLET® S7
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
'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.
Where it goes at the end of its life
TOTO encourages consumers to recycle their used washlet and washlet parts. Contact your local municipality for recycling programs.
How we're making it healthier
Using a gentle stream of warm-aerated water, WASHLET® cleans the user better and more thoroughly than the paper alternative, thereby reducing harmful environmental waste products. WASHLET® with cleaning functions like PREMIST® and EWATER+® reduce the frequency of cleaning and the need for harsh chemicals that can be harmful to our ecosystem.
PREMIST® sprays the bowl before use, and EWATER+® sprays the bowl after each use, preventing waste buildup to keep the bowl clean. It offers a refreshing, comfortable way to cleanse. The integrated technology helps keep the toilet bowl clean without harsh chemicals, which benefits the environment.
