At Kohler, we are making sustainability as inseparable from Kohler as design, innovation, quality, and artistry. From water efficiency, durability, and recycled materials to third-party certifications, we create products that offer sustainability without sacrificing in performance or style.
KOHLER® Sustainable Products
Kohler’s long-standing commitment to sustainability is reflected in our mission, our operations, and our products.
A Facility-Level Certification Approach Scales LCAs and EPDs
In 2025 we took a meaningful step forward in our facility-level strategy by publishing Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for five faucet plants across the U.S., China, and India, and five vitreous china plants in Mexico, Thailand, and India. Collectively, these facilities produced 60 new EPDs in 2025, increasing our total to 134 active Environmental Product Declarations (EPD).
Transforming Affordable Housing With Durable Design
In 2025 Kohler partnered with the Hudson Valley Property Group (HVPG) to do a multi-million-dollar renovation using KOHLER water-saving kitchen and bathroom products.
Shaping Water-Smart Living
In partnership with 50L Home, Kohler and other founding members are showing how water efficiency can be integrated into daily living without compromising experience.
The Rise of Recyclable Packaging
Our goal is 100% recyclable or reusable packaging where possible by 2035. However, in regions where this is not feasible, we will use renewable materials and optimize recycled content. Because material availability and recycling infrastructure differ from site to site, we empower packaging engineers in each manufacturing region to identify and implement packaging improvements.
2025 Packaging Improvement Highlights
720 packaging projects initiated and led by associates
1,344 project SKUs updated to reduce nonrecyclable packaging
472 metric tons of nonrecyclable materials reduced
