Xerox Washing Machine Concept
Xeros is busy working on an entirely new breed of washing machines that will be using only a cup of water per load and relying on nylon beads to trap dirt and stains for hundreds of washes. The UK based Xeros has been testing the machine for the past 3 years now. The machined is planned to be sold in North America in partnership with GreenEarth Cleaning. The company is targeting the commercial dry cleaners and Laundromats initially. The machine uses 90 percent less water than conventional machines and also uses less detergent and energy for a load of laundry. With regards to the difference in quality or effect on clothing, the company claims that the impact will be negligible.
Xerox also claims that the nylon beads are recyclable once they are saturated, but the company has not announced any plans to offer recycling. In the US, nylon can be recycled as a scrap plastic but it is not a part of the curbside recycling program.
