How to design an “olympic” restroom: when hygiene becomes performance

February marks a moment of major significance for Italy, which will host the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games from February 6 to 22, followed in March by the Paralympic Games.
The two events will welcome over 3500 athletes and an estimated total of between 2 and 2.5 million visitors across the various locations involved.
This will therefore be a challenge not only on a sporting level, but also an organizational one: the management of services, particularly restroom facilities, will become a key factor in ensuring welcome, comfort, safety, and hygiene for such a large number of people.

Performance is not “doing well once”, but working flawlessly every day

In this context, the concept of performance takes on a broader meaning: ensuring hygiene, functionality, and operational continuity is not an occasional achievement, but a condition that must be guaranteed day after day.
Mar Plast dispensers meet this challenge by focusing on consistent performance over time. Designed for high-traffic environments, they are compact, solid, and durable, engineered to last and to remain reliable even under intensive use.
The essential design and material characteristics make cleaning and sanitizing operations easier, crucial aspects in settings where hygiene is a non-negotiable requirement.

Stainless steel bathroom accessories: a gold medal for hygiene

The Mar Plast stainless steel range, in particular, combines strength, durability, and easy-to-sanitize surfaces, making it an ideal solution for public facilities and heavily used restrooms.
Stainless steel features a compact, non-porous surface that does not absorb liquids, moisture, or organic residues, and does not trap dirt or bacteria in micro-crevices.
This significantly reduces the risk of microbial proliferation, especially in high-traffic environments.
Stainless steel dispensers also withstand frequent and intensive cleaning, resist detergents, disinfectants, and alcohol-based solutions, and do not discolor or deteriorate over time, maintaining their performance even under heavy usage “stress”.

Winning technology: touchless soap dispensers for high-traffic restrooms

In professional restroom environments, quality is also driven by technology. Automatic dispensers, thanks to their touchless sensor system, allow product dispensing without direct contact, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Cross-contamination occurs when bacteria and viruses are transferred from one surface to another through hand contact, for example, when touching levers or buttons used by multiple people. By eliminating physical contact, touchless dispensers help break the chain of transmission.
This aspect is particularly relevant during the winter months: early February often coincides with the peak of flu season, when proper hand hygiene becomes essential to limit the spread of seasonal viruses. In this context, electronic dispensers, such as those in the Skin line and the Lineacqualba line, represent an effective and practical solution for high-traffic environments.

“High-altitude” standards: Ecolored white inspired by the Adamello

About 35–40 km as the crow flies from Bormio, where the men’s alpine skiing events of the Winter Olympic Games will take place, lies the snow-covered Adamello massif. This landscape inspired the “soft” white of the Ecolored line, aptly named “Adamello White”.
A delicate shade that visually recalls the purity of snow, while conveying a sense of freshness and elegance.
The Ecolored line offers a complete solution for those seeking a balance between high hygiene standards, operational reliability and functionality without sacrificing refined design that enhances the surrounding environment.
Among the 17 different product types available in the Adamello-inspired white are also the electronic paper towel dispenser and the automatic cutting version, both designed to ensure optimal hygiene management.

Always in the race: Mar Plast support

As in high-level competition, consistency of performance makes all the difference in professional environments as well. That is why Mar Plast complements its products with a top-tier support service, designed to ensure reliability and responsiveness in every situation.
