Abstract
The study proves that the water footprint of finishing materials can be significantly reduced by promoting the use of the best water-efficient alternatives, concluding guidelines for manufacturers and architects. This would stimulate competition between manufacturers to adopt more standards to enhance the water footprints of their products, introducing water-efficient alternatives declared using either Eco-labels or Environmental Product Declarations.
