Innovation for Good (IfG), Kohler’s in-house incubator, enables associates to explore opportunities to develop new products and services that address pressing global, environmental, and social challenges. Launched by the IfG incubator in 2018, associates from across Kohler participate in the annual IfG I-Prize Competition to demonstrate their passion and commitment to solving social and environmental challenges.

KOHLER® Cleanse™

Globally, 2.3 million people live without the means to safely wash their hands at home and 670 million people have no access to handwashing at all. In support of our commitment to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, and tapping into our innovation and expertise, Kohler developed KOHLER Cleanse, a hands-free handwashing faucet that requires no plumbing, no electricity, and no hands—the faucet provides water with just a simple lift of the wrist. Read more about KOHLER Cleanse and its impact here.

KOHLER Rinse™

The KOHLER Rinse pour-flush toilet provides individuals with the comfort and dignity of a seated sanitation solution that does not require electricity or piped water, using a pour-flush activation system. Ideal for communities without a waste management infrastructure, KOHLER Rinse is adaptable to various sewer systems. Read more about KOHLER Rinse and its impact here.

KOHLER Loope™

KOHLER Loope is a waterless toilet designed to bring safe sanitation to dense urban environments where the only toilet option is often away from homes, requires payment, and is locked at night. KOHLER Loope is a container-based sanitation (CBS) solution, a form of off-grid waste management where solid waste and urine are collected and disposed of or converted into a new product. Read more about KOHLER Loope and its impact here.
