How Zerodor Helped DCB Save More Then 6.8 Billion Liters Of Water

DCB Bank worked together with Ekam Eco Solutions to install Zerodor waterless urinals in various bank premises. Through the retrofitting of the existing urinal fixtures to the waterless technology patented by Zerodor, DCB Bank saved more than 6.8 billion liters of water annually, reduced the water bills by a significant margin, and strengthened its ESG and water-stewardship policy. 

The Challenge  

 The commercial and institutional buildings have high-traffic washrooms that require a lot of freshwater to flush. The average urinal consumed 1-4 litres per flush and hence an organization with numerous branches or head offices will encounter high recurring water consumption, municipal bill, sewage charges and maintenance expenses. DCB Bank wanted to find an efficient way to reduce water usage in all its premises without losing hygiene and user experience.  

Ekam Eco Solutions The product - Zerodor waterless urinals

Zerodor (by Ekam Eco Solutions) is a cartridge-free, waterless urinal system that is based on nature and uses a sealing liquid to provide the block of odors and the absence of flushing. It is created to retrofit existing urinals, complicating the process of installation, and gives an immediate water savings and a reduction of maintenance costs to the urinal systems that use water. The solution is chemical free in application targeted to high-footfall (offices,malls,stations) environments.  

Ekam Eco Solutions Implementation at DCB Bank 

 Zerodor had been implemented in several DCB Bank locations as a part of the bank sustainability/CSR activities (highlighted the installations were made during the World Toilet Day activities). Procedure: Zerodor modules were installed on the existing urinals -no significant plumbing rework needed. DCB Bank partnered with Ekam Eco Solutions to transform its washrooms using Zerodor waterless urinals, creating a powerful example of a corporate water-saving case study. Traditional flushing urinals were consuming massive amounts of freshwater across high-footfall branches, making water conservation both an environmental and operational priority. By retrofitting existing fixtures with Zerodor’s patented, cartridge-free technology, the bank implemented a truly sustainable restroom system that eliminates flush water, controls odor naturally, reduces maintenance needs, and requires no major plumbing changes. This simple yet high-impact intervention helped DCB Bank save 6.8 billion liters of water annually, while significantly reducing water bills, sewage load, and restroom downtime. The initiative strengthened the bank’s ESG commitments, improved user experience, and demonstrated how corporate institutions can adopt water-efficient innovations at scale. With minimal disruption, measurable ROI, and strong sustainability outcomes, DCB Bank’s shift to waterless urinals stands as a benchmark for organizations aiming to integrate cost-effective, eco-friendly restroom solutions into their long-term environmental strategy. 

A replacement of flushing with a waterless solution will save money in numerous places. Ekam Eco Solutions Low disruption - retrofit model entailed no significant civil works and the implementation took a shorter time and cost. Ekam Eco Solutions Identifiable ROI — short-term water conservation will result in repeated savings on the bill, decreased sewage treatment expenses, accelerating the payback. Ekam Eco Solutions Lesson learned and best practices (to other organisations).
