Washing laundry in Sweden 🧺The way we wash laundry is not universal; some may wash by hand, others with a washing machine in their home. In Sweden, most of us have shared laundry or a tvättstuga. These "washing cabins" are located in the basement of living facilities, and the environmental benefits are clear. Researchers Erik Klint and Gregory Peters found that when developers build shared laundry facilities instead of in-unit machines, tenants' laundry emissions are reduced by about 26%.  ♻️With the #Mimbox, laundry CO2 emissions can be reduced by an additional 21%! Doing laundry together and reusing water with the Mimbox can greatly impact our environmental footprint. Together, we can make a difference! 🌍 🌏 🌎 🧐What are your experiences with shared laundry? #sharedlaundry #laundrysolutions #innovation #cleantech #sustainableliving Check out our sources in the comments below ⬇️.

📊The results are in! 📊 After posing the question, "How do you measure your laundry detergent?" It's a tie: 41% of participants measure laundry detergent using a measuring cup but 41% also said they just guesstimate the amount needed and pour it in.  With results this close, it's easy to see that many of us overuse our laundry detergent. Excess detergent can stay in our clothes, making them scratchy and stiff, reducing the quality of our garments. Not only does overusing detergent waste financial resources, but it also creates higher water and energy use.  🌀 Our Mimboxes can detect water quality and overuse due to laundry detergent, and we are committed to supporting our users in making their laundry as clean as possible. We've provided our users with measuring tips, and we would like to share them with you as well.  🫧Try using liquid detergent – it dissolves more evenly. 🧪Use about 35ml (or 1-2 tablespoons) per load. 🔍Check the packaging for specific dosage recommendations.   🚰Consider the water hardness in your area – for example, 80% of Sweden has soft water, which means less detergent is needed.

📢 Major Announcement: We've captured 500kg of microplastics!📢 🌍We’re happy to share that we’ve hit another major milestone—500 kg of microplastics captured! To put that into perspective, it's 100,000 credit cards worth of plastic! With 142 Mimboxes installed across Europe, our innovative solution is helping businesses make a real impact on water and energy conservation.   🔬Microplastics pose a great risk to our health, freshwater, and climate. By capturing microplastics that come from synthetic textiles in our clothing, we are protecting our resources and health.  🔧 So, how do we do it? With our patent filtration system, the #Mimbox captures microplastics with every load of laundry.  Thanks to the efforts of our incredible customers and team, we are making a meaningful difference in protecting both our health and the planet! #milestone #Innovation #Cleantech #mircoplastics

Time for a poll 📊. At Mimbly, we are curious about laundry habits, if you have a second, let us know how you measure your laundry detergent. Look out for the results next week. #laundry #mimbox #laundryhabits #sustainablelaundry

🌍 Major Announcement: We've Saved 4 Million Liters of Water! 💧 We’re excited to share that, thanks to the efforts of our incredible customers and team, we’ve hit a major milestone—4 million liters of water saved! To put that into perspective, it's 72,727 loads of laundry that would otherwise have consumed precious fresh water. With 142 Mimboxes installed across Europe, our innovative solution is helping businesses make a real impact on water and energy conservation.  🔧 So, how do we do it? Our #Mimbox system filters and analyzes wastewater to determine which water is suitable for reuse. The clean, "qualified" water is stored and reused for the next wash, reducing the need for fresh water.  By repurposing water that would otherwise go to waste, we're not only saving money, but we’re also reducing the environmental footprint of everyday operations. We’re incredibly proud of our progress, and we’re just getting started!  ➡️What’s next? We've made big impacts in Sweden but water scarcity and high energy costs are higher abroad. We’re committed to expanding our impact further, helping more businesses reduce water and energy use, one wash at a time. #milestone #Innovation #Cleantech #SaveWater

🌍 New Research Suggests Surprising Links Between Microplastics, Weather, and Climate Change 🌦️ A groundbreaking study by atmospheric chemists Miriam Freedman and Heidi Busse uncovers that microplastics in the air may influence weather and climate by creating clouds in conditions where they might not usually form. Cloud formation typically requires water vapor to cling to small particles, such as dust. However, microplastics—tiny particles less than 5 millimeters wide, now found everywhere from Mount Everest to our bodies—appear to play a role in this process too. At Mimbly, we're committed to protecting our water. Our data estimates that the #Mimbox can filter out up to 90% of microplastics found in microfibers from clothing, addressing a critical source of these particles. Let's act now to support solutions for a healthier future. 🌱 Check out the study in the comment below ⬇️ #Cleantech #Microplastics #Innovation

📢 Article Release 📢 In the Swedish language news site Tidningen Näringslivet, Mimbly’s founder, Isabella Palmgren shares our journey, the importance of providing direct digital data to our customers, and the potential for making a major impact by conserving freshwater resources on a global scale. 💧“Water scarcity is a much bigger problem outside Sweden. In Denmark alone, water is four times as expensive as here, making the payback rate higher. In addition, the price of electricity is generally higher abroad,” - Isabella Palmgren.

Wash less and wash smarter Spills, sweat, and tumbles happen but are we washing our clothes more than necessary? How many wears does it take before you chuck your garments in the wash? More importantly, how do we know when it’s time to wash?    🎓 A recent study led by Erik Klint a doctoral student at Chalmers University, discovered that our environmentally friendly intentions often lose to the fear of being perceived as “gross.” So how do we move from this?    Here are some tips :    👕 Shake it off…or brush it off, dirt can usually just be quickly swiped away.   🧼  Spot clean! AEG recommends applying detergent (liquid) for sturdy fabrics and gently rub it with a cloth or an old soft toothbrush. For delicate fabrics, dilute your detergent with a little water, then dab gently on the stain. 👖 Air it out, and hang garments indoors or outdoors to refresh them between washes. Let’s be honest, we all have that chair with a pile of clothes waiting in the corner- hang it, don’t pile it! For some inspiration, check out this amazing design by Uncommon Creative Studio and Ecover. They have just released their Rewear Chair, inspired by the corner chair—a bespoke design that will be showcased this week at Dutch Design Week (DDW) in Eindhoven 🪑.    Here at Mimbly, we care about protecting our water resources and that starts before we enter the laundry room. Together we can save water. For more tips, news and updates connect with us at https://rb.gy/twqrmo.
