Paint tools = single-use culture. The reality on site is obvious: they’re treated as disposable. Once they’re clogged with paint, they’re messy to clean, nearly impossible to recycle, and most end up tossed into general construction waste. Now scale that up. A single project can chew through dozens of rollers. Large commercial builds? Hundreds! Think globally, and suddenly you’re looking at millions of rollers binned every year. Not a perfect stat, but a very real problem,

Microplastics might be tiny, but the impact is anything but. Paints and coatings used in construction are now recognised as a major source of microplastic emissions and ocean pollution. When paint begins to dry it forms a plastic film and when the tools are washed, and the water discharged microplastics particles are released. That’s exactly where Washbox comes in: already operating across the Australia, UK, Europe and the US with simple, mobile, and affordable wash systems d

Water just got promoted. And wastewater came with it. At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, water was not treated as a background utility or a quiet environmental issue. It was pushed into a much bigger conversation: economic resilience, infrastructure, health, climate adaptation, investment and business continuity. That matters. Because once water is treated as economic infrastructure, dirty water is no longer just a disposal problem. It becomes a risk si

Washbox Rockets land on Google’s New York Head Office Stage 2 project Washbox Rockets have been installed on the Google Head Office Stage 2 project in New York, marking one of the first major construction projects to use the new Rocket system for multi trade tool washing. This is an important milestone for Washbox. The Rocket was developed to bring closed loop, zero liquid discharge tool washing to more projects, more trades and more locations across a construction site. Unli

The Washbox Rocket was introduced to the market at three key industry events: NHBA IBS (USA) National Home Builders Association International Builders Show PCA Expo (Florida) Panting Contractors Association Eisenwarenmesse (Cologne) International Hardware Fair Different regions. Different audiences. Different stages of market maturity. But the feedback was remarkably consistent. “You’ve thought of everything” Across all three shows, one message came through clearly. The Rock

When we launched the Washbox Rocket, the goal was simple. Create a portable, practical way for trades to wash tools without creating pollution. Something that works anywhere. On any site.For any trade. Now operating across five countries The Washbox Rocket is now in use across the UK, Ireland, USA, Australia and New Zealand, supporting construction teams in a wide range of environments. From residential jobs to major commercial projects. From individual trades to large contr

Most pollution in construction does not come from major incidents. It comes from small, repeated actions. Washing tools in a sink. Rinsing into a drain. Letting water run onto the ground. Individually , these actions feel insignificant. Collectively , they are one of the largest unaddressed sources of water pollution in the built environment. This is a behaviour problem For years, the industry has relied on improvised solutions: buckets. sinks, stormwater drains. Not because

If you’re using a Washbox Rocket on site, you’re already doing the right thing. You ’re controlling washwater. You’re preventing pollution. You’re working in a more professional, compliant way. But there’s another to tap into: The data. Every Washbox tells a story Every time you use your Washbox, something valuable happens. Water is reused. Solids are captured. Pollution is prevented. The app and dashboard turn that into something you can actually see. How much water you’ve

Fresh drinking water is the most fundamental resource we have. It underpins health, productivity, and dignity. Yet globally, billions of people still face unreliable access to safe water. For many communities, especially in developing regions, this burden falls disproportionately on women and girls. This year’s World Water Day theme is clear: Water and Gender. Where water flows, equality grows. But, not all water problems come from scarcity. Some come from misuse. This is n
