Neglected until a problem arises, plumbing systems are essential to our homes and they can be more sustainable than you think. In the latest Friendly Turtle EcoBlog, we explore four eco-friendly, low-waste plumbing tips that are both smart and simple. From installing greywater systems to recycle used household water for your garden, to adopting water-saving devices like dual-flush toilets and eco showerheads, these small shifts can make a big impact.

Regular maintenance, reducing pressure, and sealing leaks are also key to conserving resources and avoiding costly damage. Embracing sustainable plumbing is not just a trend it’s a responsible lifestyle choice that benefits your home, your wallet, and the environment.
