The history of human civilization is the revolutionary history of toilets, and small toilets carry big stories.
In 2015, a girl named Nar filed for divorce in India because her husband was unwilling to build a toilet at home, which sparked a nationwide "no toilet, no bride" social movement. In the same year, China launched the "toilet revolution" under the initiative of the United Nations, and continued to improve the toilet environment of its citizens from scenic spots to rural areas.
The increasingly excellent toilet environment promotes all human beings to a healthier and better life.
Up to now, China has initially completed the toilet revolution, from urban to rural, modern toilets have basically achieved popularization, and the next step is to accelerate the change in the direction of science and technology, green, etc.
The progress of civilization is endless, and the evolution of toilets has never stopped. The United Nations has designated November 19 as "World Toilet Day" every year, and the theme of World Toilet Day in 2023 is "Accelerating Change", which uses the hummingbird as a symbol – an ancient legend that a hummingbird holds a drop of water in its beak and does everything it can to extinguish a fire and inspire other animals to save its own home.
Looking back at the accelerated process of toilet reform in the world, there are countless social forces like hummingbirds, which are pushing all mankind to a healthier and better life, such as the sanitary ware company Jiumu.
On January 26, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in China and JOMOO Group jointly hosted the "2024 Toilet Revolution and Sustainable Development Forum" (hereinafter referred to as the "Forum"), which discussed topics such as toilet revolution, sustainable management of water resources and sanitation, and how to help sustainable development through scientific and technological innovation, so as to accelerate the transformation of the world's toilet environment.
Chinese companies are gradually becoming the backbone of solving global issues.
Toilets and the good life
At the beginning of 2024, a good life is being depicted everywhere.
Harbin's frozen pears, rice buns, barbecues, ice sculptures, snow rings and performances in the ice and snow world make people feel the fireworks in the world; Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" depicts the vigor and vigor of Shanghai in the 90s of the last century; At the first CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) after the epidemic, AI and XR showed the infinite possibilities of technology.
And what constitutes a good life is not only the starry sky that you look up, but also the solid earth under your feet. Whether it is traveling to Harbin or strolling through CES to see exhibitions, people need one thing, that is, the toilet - it is the foundation of all good life, and the foundation of human life and health.
Human feces can carry pathogens such as rotavirus, Heraldella, and parasite eggs, which can cause diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid. According to the United Nations, in 2020, there were 49.4 billion people have to defecate in the open, more than 82 per year in low- and middle-income countries90,000 people died due to lack of water, sanitation and hygiene.
It can be said that a small toilet is related to the livelihood of the people, as well as the life and death of hundreds of millions of people around the world. To this end, in 1997, the United Nations Children's Development Association (UNICEF) proposed to upgrade toilets, proposing a "toilet revolution" in developing countries with large populations, such as China.
But the economy is the foundation of everything, and the process of the toilet revolution is also closely related to the level of economic development, and the United Nations initiative has had little effect at the time. With China's economy leaping to the second place in the world, the "toilet revolution" in 2015 was also put on the agenda, rolled out in tourism, rural areas and other fields, and achieved initial results.
Since 2015, China's toilet revolution has achieved initial results.
At the forum, Zhang Yi, deputy director of the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges of the Ministry of Commerce, summarized the results of China's toilet revolution, citing data: in the five years from 2015 to 2020, the number of public toilets in China's cities and towns increased by 22%, and the number of public toilets per 10,000 people increased by 40 to 45 seats. In rural areas, the latest report shows that 77 percent of them are covered by sanitary toilets5%。
With the rapid action and initial results of the "toilet revolution" in China, a country with a large population, the global toilet revolution has also reached the time of acceleration.
The forum also released the world's first industry report ("Technology Innovation Empowers the Toilet Revolution: Contributing to Global Sustainable Development"), which not only details the current situation of the toilet environment in countries around the world, especially in developing countries, but also proposes the toilet revolution for the first time. 0 Three stages of new perspectives.
While China's toilet revolution has achieved initial results, there is still a long way to go to promote the toilet revolution from a global perspective. According to the United Nations, by 2030, only 78% of the world's population will have access to basic handwashing facilities and 67% will have access to safe sanitation services. As Lin Xiaowei, President of Operations of JOMOO Group, said, there are still a large number of people around the world who lack basic sanitation facilities.
In the view of "Yidian Finance", the current toilet revolution has two priorities: one is to accelerate the popularization of sanitary toilets; The second is to accelerate the development of healthier, greener and more technological toilets to provide people with a more comfortable toilet experience.
In order to promote the development of the world, it is necessary to bridge the gap in toilet development, which is the foundation for creating a better life for mankind.
Jiumu, which promotes the accelerated transformation of toilets
The small toilet affects not only the hearts of the country and the world, but also many enterprises. Behind the promotion of China's "toilet revolution" and the initial results, the help of Jiumu and other enterprises is indispensable.
Since 2018, JOMOO has been committed to the promotion and implementation of the "toilet revolution", and has continued to donate and support the construction and renovation of 100,000 toilets across the country, including villages in Wuzhong City, Ningxia, Qilan County, Shanxi, Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, Xining, Qinghai and other places. At the same time, it has built clean toilets in many cities, hospitals, schools and scenic spots across the country.
As the toilet revolution enters the next stage of accelerated change, JOMOO is also playing an important role, and the convening of this forum is a signal. Lin Xiaowei, President of Operations of JOMOO Group, expressed JOMOO's attitude in an interview: "The toilet revolution is closely related to global sustainable development, and JOMOO hopes that through such a public and global activity, it can fulfill its corporate responsibility and mission." ”
In 2023, the United Nations has adopted the hummingbird as a symbol of accelerating change in toilets. In the next accelerated toilet revolution, Jiumu is also like a hummingbird, using itself to enlighten and open the way for others- In the past, the transformation of toilets mainly revolved around people's basic needs for cleanliness and hygiene, and next, it is necessary to meet people's spiritual needs while meeting basic needs.
At the forum, JOMOO cooperated with the United Nations Development Programme to imagine a sustainable future. In reality, JOMOO takes intelligence, green, health and appearance as the key innovation direction, and has launched a series of products that are both easy to use and good-looking, healthy and environmentally friendly, including siphon water-saving toilets, air energy showers, waterless flushing toilets, all-water sterilization smart toilets, etc., to provide a better life experience.
The staff is explaining the waterless flushing ecological toilet and the technology behind it.
The "i90 full waterway sterilization digital intelligent toilet" released by Jomu last year has achieved the ultimate in healthy sterilization: the industry's advanced "all-waterway sterilization" system is adopted, and an external scale inhibitor filter is installed to filter out impurities and soften water quality with high precision; The sterilization rate is as high as 999% UV sterilization water 20 technology, the whole process of ultraviolet sterilization, to achieve clean ...... source
At the same time, in addition to "doing the right thing", enterprises should also "do things right". In promoting the accelerated revolution of toilets, JOMOO has achieved sustainable development from the source with green production. At the end of last year, Jomu Group officially released Digital Intelligence 50 strategy, through digital and intelligent construction to transform traditional factories, to create a green and sustainable manufacturing system.
At present, JOMOO has 15 high-end digital intelligence factories around the world, which not only increases production efficiency by 35%, but also realizes power saving and emission reduction through photovoltaics, saving 1300 million kWh, 90,000 tons of emission reduction, water saving equivalent to the water of 5 Hangzhou West Lake, and gradually achieve zero carbon emissions.
Sanitary ware itself belongs to a high energy consumption, high pollution industry, the production process needs to consume a lot of mineral resources and energy, the production of waste gas, waste water, waste residue, dust, etc. will cause pollution to the environment. With the development of digital and intelligent technology, this "stubborn disease" in the sanitary ware industry has found a solution.
Technology empowerment promotes green production and ensures environmental sustainability.
It is not enough to aim for the prosperity of the people, there is also the question of 'what to do if you are rich'", Fei Xiaotong, a famous Chinese sociologist and anthropologist, raised this question in 1989. From product innovation to green manufacturing, Jiumu, which has achieved "China's first and the world's top three", has given its own answer to this, making better products and assuming greater responsibilities.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the world's largest multilateral agency responsible for technical assistance, and is committed to promoting the sustainable development of mankind, which coincides with the mission of JOMOO to make outstanding contributions to the progress of human settlements civilization, and we hope to do something for a common goal. As Lin Xiaowei said, taking this forum as an opportunity, Jiumu is working towards a greater goal.
China's power for global sustainable development
At the two sessions in 2018, Wu Jinbi, a delegation from Fujian Province, summarized the toilet revolution sample of Jiumu - to promote the upgrading of the toilet revolution with scientific and technological innovation, "research and development of targeted technical solutions such as anti-corrosion, sterilization, descaling, water saving, and non-contact intelligent applications, and 'adapt measures to local conditions' to meet the needs of toilet renovation in different regions of the country." ”
For example, in the southern region, UV sterilization, electrolyzed water sterilization, silver and copper ion sterilization are used to effectively solve the problems of wetness and easy breeding; In the humid and perishable coastal areas, metal and non-metallic materials can be stainless for ten years; In the Northwest, water-saving technologies allow for waterless flushing, and sparkling water from faucets produces less but more power.
From agricultural civilization to industrial civilization and then to the current ecological civilization, scientific and technological innovation has been the main driving force of the toilet revolution. The report on "Technological Innovation Empowering the Toilet Revolution: Contributing to Global Sustainable Development" released by the forum summarized the positive role of scientific and technological innovation in R&D, design, production, use and other aspects to empower the improvement of sanitation facilities and promote sustainable development.
The world's first industry report was unveiled, pointing out the direction for the sustainable development of the global toilet revolution in the future.
Similarly, behind the introduction of healthier, higher-value, greener and smarter bathroom products into hundreds of millions of families in China and even around the world and promoting the toilet revolution, it is scientific and technological innovation that provides support for lasting vitality.
For a long time, under the strategy of "science and technology sanitary ware", Jiumu has focused on innovative technology, digital technology and green technology, and initially built a research and development system of "three-year application, five-year foundation and ten-year theory". According to reports, Jiumu's annual R&D investment is not less than 10% of annual sales, with 16 R&D and design centers around the world, a total of more than 20,000 advanced patents, and leading the formulation of more than 20 international standards and more than 200 national standards.
With the support of scientific and technological innovation, JOMOO has not only achieved catch-up with foreign brands in China, but also gone global, bringing consumers a better innovation experience all over the world. Data show that since 2007, JOMOO has developed more than 300,000 sales outlets around the world, and its products are sold to more than 120 countries and regions.
In the context of the acceleration of the toilet revolution, it is becoming more widely and deeply involved in the global toilet revolution. At the forum, Lin Sinan, vice chairman of JOMOO Group, said, "It is the responsibility of JOMOO to promote the global toilet revolution and sustainable development, and it is also a responsibility, and we hope to give full play to JOMOO's own technical advantages, product advantages and service advantages to help the toilet revolution and sustainable development." ”
In this competition to promote global sustainable development, Jomu has obvious advantages.
In terms of users, China's huge and complex market environment allows it to quickly translate its understanding of user needs and product innovation into the bud, growth and even mature markets, and promote the accelerated transformation of global toilets.
In terms of manufacturing, the mature industrial chain of China's manufacturing, as well as the green production driven by technological innovation, allow Jomu to continuously reduce costs and increase efficiency, and can introduce lower-cost and larger-scale products into the bud and even the growth market, so as to realize the rapid popularization of healthy toilets and accelerate the global toilet revolution.
It is also thanks to this that in the process of continuing to promote the global toilet revolution by leading enterprises represented by Jomu, the toilet environment of China's people has been improved. 1.4 billion Chinese people have rushed from the open air to the indoor, from dry to water flushing, all the way to the era of smart toilets and healthy bathroom spaces. It is also expected that in the future, the country and enterprises will jointly promote the national degree of smart bathroom, so that people can enjoy not only clean, but also a healthy, green and intelligent smart toilet with the blessing of science and technology, so as to enhance the sense of happiness in life.
In the next toilet revolution, this Chinese force will quickly sweep the world. The "Hummingbird" represented by Jiumu is providing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the world.
Conclusion
Tao is everywhere. In "Zhuangzi Zhibei Tour", when Dong Guozi wanted Zhuangzi to give an example of his specific location, he replied "in the ants", "in the barnyard barnyard", "in the shingles", "in the". De Freud, a famous modern Western psychologist, also pointed out in the preface to human beings that letting people accept feces is not only a bold act, but also a great cause for the benefit of future generations.
From this point of view, the toilet revolution is a great cause related to the health and development of human life. At present, this great cause has ushered in a critical moment:
First, the world is experiencing great changes unseen in a century accelerated by the scientific and technological revolution, and people's lives are undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Second, China's production capacity spillover is accelerating, bringing China's low-cost, high-quality products and innovative technologies to the global market.
It's time to give a little Chinese shock to the world's toilets and accelerate the toilet revolution and sustainable development. The enterprise represented by JOMOO is using the power of China's creation to bridge the toilet gap and lift all mankind to achieve a more equal life.
