Rainwater doesn't only work for Staal-Kade in Amsterdam

May 19, 2026 | From the editors

Sustainability is a hot topic. Rainwater reuse is an example of a solution that not only reduces the ecological footprint but also offers financial benefits. This principle, successfully applied in the iconic Staal-Kade building in Amsterdam, can also be applied to any other type of building.

By reusing rainwater, buildings can reduce their drinking water consumption by up to 50%. This means lower costs and a smaller impact on the water supply. The system is easy to install and integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. This makes it attractive not only for new construction projects but also for renovations.

The technology behind rainwater reuse is highly developed. Systems such as the Wilo-RainSystem are designed to function reliably and efficiently, even in complex construction situations. They are energy-efficient and automatic, which significantly simplifies maintenance.

At Staal-Kade, Wilo and Mijn Waterfabriek proved that rainwater reuse is not only sustainable but also profitable. This isn't exclusive to Staal-Kade in Amsterdam. With the right approach, every building can benefit from the advantages of rainwater reuse and thus contribute to a more sustainable future.

Rainwater reuse is a smart investment for any building. By capitalizing on local subsidies and innovative technologies, owners can not only save money but also make a positive impact on the environment.
