Saving water and filtering out microplastics in washers

Mimbly has developed a retrofitted device, the Mimbox, that is connected to one or several washers. The water used during washing is circulated through the Mimbox, where the water quality is analyzed. If the quality is at the required standards, the water is then reused. According to Mimbly's website, this can save up to 90% of water and requires less energy that traditional use of washers. In addition, the solution also includes a filter that removes microplastics and other fibers from the water.
