Istobal said the recommendation comes in view of the extreme severity of the drought in many countries around the world.
According to Istobal, water is a limited resource and is fundamental in the car wash and car care business. In its opinion, it can be responsible for the viability or otherwise of car wash businesses.
It has also underlined that not using water recycling systems on bridges and car washes can result in annual water wastage similar to leaving a tap running all day for more than three years.
Similarly, it stated that cleaning the car in a sustainable car wash facility incorporating water treatment solutions generates less water consumption compared to a manual car wash with a private hose and avoids contamination of the water resulting from the washing process.
In this regard, the contribution of operators of washing facilities and users is crucial in being environmentally responsible and combating drought.
