RIGEL TECHNOLOGY
GREEN RESTROOMS

It may appear to be the most understated enclave in a building, but to Rigel, the humble restroom can play a big part in making the environment a greener place, especially in the world today where rivers are running dry and landscapes are turning barren. This is why Rigel started pioneering green restrooms back in 1991, way before the eco-friendly movement took the world by storm. Tapping on the spirit of innovation in resource-scarce Singapore, it has developed cutting-edge water-conservation and energy-efficient technologies that have enabled urbanites to get into the flow of protecting the planet even as they attend to their most intimate needs every day. Through Rigel’s total suite of internationally accredited green restroom solutions which it designs, manufactures, markets and supplies around the world, LOHAS enthusiasts can enjoy resourceful living with a sleek edge, while green, intelligent buildings get to benefit from sustainable and cost-effective management.
