  • Are Bidets Better Than Toilet Paper? The Future of Bathroom Hygiene with Steven Scheer (#125)

    Are Bidets Better Than Toilet Paper? The Future of Bathroom Hygiene with Steven Scheer (#125)
    2026/09/29
    Are bidets better than toilet paper for hygiene, sustainability, and your health? Steven Scheer, President of Brondell, Inc., believes washing with water can provide a cleaner experience while significantly reducing our dependence on toilet paper.On the ZuLoo Poodcast, Jocelyn and Darin sit down with Steven Scheer to explore how bidets work, why Americans have been slower to adopt them, and how the toilet paper shortage of 2020 helped bring bidets into the mainstream.Steven explains the health and hygiene benefits of washing with water, the environmental impact of toilet paper, and how modern bidet toilet seats have evolved to include heated seats, adjustable water temperature and pressure, air dryers, deodorizers, and other smart features.The conversation also looks toward the future of smart toilets, including how emerging technology could eventually monitor health indicators and help identify potential concerns through urine and stool analysis.What You Will Learn✅ Why washing with water can provide a cleaner and more comfortable alternative to toilet paper✅ How the toilet paper shortage of 2020 accelerated bidet adoption in the United States✅ How modern bidets work, from basic non-electric attachments to integrated smart toilets✅ How future toilets could use health monitoring technology to provide valuable information about our bodiesTimestamps00:00 Inside the modern smart bidet experience02:18 Meet Steven Scheer, President of Brondell Inc.03:40 How a trip to Thailand introduced Steven to bidets06:44 Why Americans have been slow to adopt bidets08:17 How the toilet paper shortage changed the bidet market11:36 Bidets, personal hygiene, and health benefits15:07 The environmental impact of toilet paper16:58 How does a bidet actually work?19:23 Inside today's smart bidet toilets25:47 Designing bidets for the American bathroom27:49 Clean water, filtration, and sustainable home products32:58 The future of bidets and smart toilet technologyKey Takeaways🔹 Bidets can offer more than convenience. Steven shares how washing with water can provide greater comfort and independence, particularly for people experiencing medical conditions or mobility challenges.🔹 Using a bidet can dramatically reduce toilet paper use.

  • Can We Solve the Global Water Crisis? The Future of Water Positive | Alejandro Sturniolo (#124)

    Can We Solve the Global Water Crisis? The Future of Water Positive | Alejandro Sturniolo (#124)
    2026/09/15
    Can businesses use water and still have a positive impact on global water resources? Alejandro Sturniolo believes they can, and that the technology to make it happen already exists.In this episode of the ZuLoo Poodcast, Jocelyn and Darin sit down with Alejandro Sturniolo of Aqua Positive to explore what it means to become water positive and why water reuse, desalination, and smarter water management could transform how businesses and communities approach water scarcity.Alejandro explains how companies can look beyond reducing their own water consumption and support projects that save, replenish, or create water within communities and watersheds. He also challenges common assumptions about wastewater, desalination, and the water footprint of data centers and AI.From water reuse and wastewater treatment to corporate sustainability and the future of water technology, Alejandro makes the case that solving many of our water challenges isn't about waiting for a breakthrough. It's about education, connecting existing solutions, and taking action.What You Will Learn✅ What water positive means and how organizations can save or replenish more water than they consume✅ Why water reuse and desalination could play an important role in addressing water scarcity✅ How data centers, AI, and everyday consumer activity contribute to our water footprint✅ Why Alejandro believes education and connecting existing solutions are more important than waiting for new technologyZuLoo Humanitarian: Learn more and support the mission at https://zuloo.org/give/ Timestamps00:00 Why Alejandro is optimistic about the future of water03:27 Meet Alejandro Sturniolo of Aqua Positive04:40 How Alejandro discovered his passion for water05:49 What does it mean to be water positive?11:34 Rethinking wastewater as a valuable resource13:34 How desalination works and misconceptions about energy use16:15 Water reuse, water quality, and technology17:21 Data centers, AI, and their water footprint22:13 Why education may be the biggest barrier to progress24:49 Alejandro's vision for the future of waterKey Takeaways🔹 Water positive goes beyond using less water. Alejandro explains that organizations can look beyond their immediate operations and support projects that save, replenish, or create water within a broader community or watershed.🔹 Wastewater doesn't have to be waste. Modern treatment and reuse technologies can turn wastewater into a valuable resource. Alejandro argues that properly treated reused water can achieve extremely high levels of water quality.🔹 Data centers aren't the entire water story. While AI and data centers use water, Alejandro encourages people to consider water footprints across industries and everyday products rather than focusing on a single sector. He points to water-positive commitments from data centers as an example of companies taking action.🔹 The technology exists. Knowledge is the bigger challenge. Alejandro believes the primary limitation isn't technology but education and the ability to connect sustainability goals with existing water solutions.About the GuestAlejandro Sturniolo is a water sustainability expert, entrepreneur, and advocate for water-positive strategies.After building a successful company across South America, Alejandro sold the business and turned his attention more fully toward his longtime passion for water. His interest in the concept of water positive led him to explore how businesses can move beyond simply reducing water consumption and instead create a net-positive impact through water conservation, reuse, and replenishment.Today, Alejandro works through Aqua Positive to connect businesses, water technologies, and sustainability strategies. He also serves as Secretary of the Water Positive Think Tank, which he describes as a community of more than 1,000 people working to advance water-positive thinking and action.Aqua PositiveImpact FiltrationLinkedInResourcesHow do you ZuLoo?
