Sustainability Report: How cycleWASH Saved 12 Million Liters of Water in 2025
cycleWASH 2025 sustainability report: 12M liters water saved, 78 MWh solar energy, 31 tonnes CO2 avoided.
Frequently asked questions
How is the 85% number verified?
Third-party audited by TÜV Süd in 2025 across four reference installations (Cologne, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Oslo). Methodology follows ISO 14046. Full audit report is available under NDA for corporate buyers, and a public summary is in the sustainability section of our website.
How does this compare to a garden hose?
Garden hose: 15-20 litres per bike wash. cycleWASH open-loop: 500 ml per cycle (97% reduction). cycleWASH closed-loop OASIS: 75 ml effective fresh water per cycle after 85% recycling. That's roughly 1/200th the water of a hose wash.
Does this contribute to LEED / BREEAM credits?
Yes. LEED v4 Water Efficiency credits WE 1-3 (outdoor water use reduction), BREEAM Wat 01/02/04, and DGNB ENV1.2. Our water-footprint audit package provides the evidence docs required for each framework.
Can we cite this in our ESG report?
Yes — the TÜV audit is structured for direct citation in GRI 303 (Water and Effluents), CDP Water, and CSRD ESRS E3 disclosures. We provide data-room access so your sustainability team can extract verified numbers directly.
