The WaterSave Umbrella: Revolutionary Sustainability in an Everyday Essential

Written by Sam Pella | Aug 8, 2025 6:00:00 AM

WaterSave umbrellas offer a compelling solution that doesn't require compromising on quality, performance, or value.

There's one thing for certain – here in Britain, we know a thing or two about umbrellas. They're an essential part of life, tucked into handbags, left by front doors, and relied upon during our famously unpredictable weather all year round.


Yet most of us have never considered the environmental impact of producing these everyday essentials. Traditional umbrella manufacturing involves water-intensive processes, substantial energy consumption, and chemical treatments that contribute significantly to environmental degradation.


Until now, the game-changing WaterSave umbrella range has transformed how sustainable products can be created without compromising on the quality and reliability that consumers expect.

 

The Numbers That Matter

WaterSave technology delivers impressive, measurable environmental benefits:


6 litres of water saved per umbrella through eliminating dyeing processes

60% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional production

70% decrease in energy consumption by streamlining manufacturing

98% reduction in sludge production, virtually eliminating hazardous waste

 

 

These aren't minor improvements – they represent substantial environmental progress that demonstrates how innovation can drive meaningful change.

 

The Hidden Environmental Cost

The conventional umbrella manufacturing process reveals some concerning realities. Traditional fabric dyeing requires extensive quantities of fresh water, chemical treatments, and energy-intensive procedures that generate substantial waste and carbon emissions.


Each umbrella produced through traditional methods carries a hidden environmental cost – one that has remained largely unchanged for decades and accumulates across the millions manufactured globally each year.

Revolutionary WaterSave Technology

WaterSave umbrellas represent a fundamental breakthrough in sustainable manufacturing. The innovation centres on a special yarn crafted from recycled plastic materials, combined with a revolutionary dry dyeing process that eliminates water usage during production.

 

Unlike traditional methods, the WaterSave process integrates colour directly into recycled plastic yarn during its initial production phase. This eliminates multiple manufacturing stages, creating a more efficient and environmentally responsible production method.


The technology doesn't simply reduce environmental impact – it reimagines how everyday products can be manufactured sustainably whilst maintaining superior performance.

 

 

From Waste to Weather Protection

The foundation of WaterSave technology lies in transforming plastic waste into high-performance umbrella fabric. This process diverts plastic materials from landfills and oceans, giving them new life as durable, functional products.


The recycled plastic yarn undergoes sophisticated processing that ensures superior quality and performance. Rather than representing a compromise, this material often outperforms traditional alternatives in durability and weather resistance.

 

 

Superior Performance You Can Rely On 

WaterSave umbrellas prove that environmental responsibility doesn't require performance compromises:

 

Enhanced Durability: The recycled plastic fabric demonstrates superior resistance to wear and weather damage, potentially lasting longer than traditionally manufactured alternatives.

Vibrant Colours: The integrated dyeing process creates colours that resist fading and maintain their vibrancy over extended use.

Lightweight Design: Despite enhanced durability, WaterSave umbrellas maintain a comfortable weight and portability for daily use.

Reliable Protection: The innovative materials provide excellent water resistance and wind tolerance – essential for the varied weather conditions in Britain.

 

WaterSave Options for Every Need

The WaterSave range offers practical solutions for different requirements and preferences:

The FARE OKObrella Mini stands out as the most popular choice, combining compact portability with reliable weather protection – making it perfect for daily commuting and everyday use.

 

For those requiring maximum coverage, the FARE Steel Oversize AOC Mini provides generous protection whilst maintaining the lightweight, durable benefits of WaterSave technology.

The FARE OKObrella Shopping offers a practical solution for those who need reliable weather protection during retail trips and errands.

 

Each model incorporates the same revolutionary WaterSave technology, ensuring that regardless of your choice, you're supporting genuinely sustainable manufacturing whilst receiving superior performance.

 

Environmental Responsibility Made Accessible

WaterSave umbrellas make sustainable choices practical and accessible. Rather than requiring consumers to accept compromises or pay premium prices, this technology delivers superior environmental benefits alongside excellent performance and competitive pricing.

For businesses selecting promotional products, WaterSave umbrellas offer an opportunity to demonstrate genuine environmental commitment whilst providing recipients with practical, high-quality items they'll actually use and appreciate.

 

 

Small Choices, Significant Impact

Every WaterSave umbrella represents measurable environmental progress. The 6 litres of water saved, combined with reduced carbon emissions and eliminated waste production, creates meaningful benefits that accumulate across widespread adoption.

 

WaterSave umbrellas represent more than just weather protection – they demonstrate how innovative thinking can transform everyday products into tools for environmental progress.
