Компания Zip Water стала первым поставщиком с маркировкой Declare, обеспечившим прозрачность материалов для экологичного офиса Arup в Брисбене

Zip Water and Arup have partnered to support the specification of advanced filtered water solutions across Arup’s Living Building Challenge (LBC) workplace projects in Australia and New Zealand. By becoming the first in its category to achieve a Declare label, Zip Water provides independently verified, publicly available material transparency aligned with LBC requirements and Arup’s sustainability standards. This partnership is demonstrated at Arup’s Brisbane office, where the workplace required suppliers able to meet these same standards and support the requirements of LBC certification. Designed in collaboration with Hassell, the project has been described as having “set the benchmark in sustainability” and received the 2026 Australian Interior Design Award for Workplace Design by ArchitectureAu. Zip HydroTap ranges, including the 5‑in‑1 Classic Plus with Arc Mixer in Brushed Nickel, Arc Plus and Classic Plus Brushed Nickel, were specified across multiple kitchens within the project. “Zip Water was the most transparent supplier in this category. The Declare label meant the information wasn’t just shared with us, it was made publicly available for the benefit of the broader industry,” Arup sustainability team leader, Richard Stokes said. For Zip Water, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to advancing sustainability across the built environment. “Arup’s Brisbane office is a leading example of sustainable workplace design and what can be achieved through a considered, holistic approach,” Zip Water commercial sales and service director, Shane Emms said. “When the opportunity arose to support that vision, it was something our team was eager to be part of. At Zip Water, we focus on helping architects, designers and consultants meet evolving sustainability requirements and achieving a Declare label is one way we provide the transparency needed for projects like this.”
