About Us

WhiffAway Group is a UK-based company and a global leader in waterless urinals for more than 20 years. Since creating the world’s first retro-fit Waterless Urinal System in 1992, WhiffAway has continually challenged the status-quo, both with its technology and duty of care.

WhiffAway USA is owned and operated by the McLean family and Kesten family, who together have over 100 years of fragrance product expertise. The team also has deep roots in water conservation. Valerie McLean, the inventor of the first retro-fit waterless urinal system, was raised on a farm in Kenya. Her father was 2nd Engineer at Owen Falls Dam on Lake Victoria, Uganda, and these experiences helped to shape her unique understanding of water conservation.

In 1997, WhiffAway Group partnered with McAlpine Plumbing Products, a fellow family-owned and operated business and the first UK company to manufacture plastic traps. McAlpine is a market leader in plumbing products, and its expertise helped to shape WhiffAway’s technology.

WhiffAway is committed to water conservation, and we are as passionate about helping our customers cut costs, reduce hassle and improve the quality of their restrooms.
