Environmentally friendly laundry filter

Up to 90 percent of all chemicals washed into sewage from households consist of cleaning liquid, detergent and fabric softener. Detergents can contain micro plastics that pass through water treatment plants into natural water systems. Scandinavian Water Technology AB (SWATAB) has developed a solution they call DIRO-TM21 that enables laundry washing without detergents, at lower temperatures, giving shorter drying times. DIRO-TM21 is a filter system that can be readily installed in any public or private facility. Since DIRO filters out particles in water that can adhere to fabric, the laundry comes out not only clean but also soft to the touch.

Infinity

Infinity wrote: We propose automated bins based on nir spectroscopy that sort textiles by fibre for recycling (skipping the waste/incineration emissions): natural fiber can be used for producing new clothes (skipping the growing and harvesting emissions). Synthetics can be routed to pet to products like bottles (skipping the petroleum emissions). The infinity bin is fully automated. Clothing pieces are inserted one by one on the belt which starts up (similar to automated book drops in some libraries). The fibre sensor (fibersort) works by measuring how much light from an infrared light source is absorbed by each textile. The reflected light creates a characteristic spectrum of each fibre type or blend combination... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
