Problem
Commercial laundry operations consume significant amounts of fresh water and energy, while also contributing to microplastic pollution from synthetic textiles. Traditional washing machines lack efficient water recycling and filtration systems, leading to environmental and economic inefficiencies.
Solution
Mimbly offers the Mimbox, an add-on device for professional washing machines that enables water recycling and microplastic capture. The Mimbox analyzes wastewater, reuses water of sufficient quality, and filters microplastic fibers down to 50 microns. By recycling up to 70% of the water used in a wash cycle, the Mimbox reduces water consumption and energy usage, as well as prevents microplastics from entering waterways. The system provides data-driven insights, allowing users to track water and energy savings through a cloud-based dashboard.
Target Audience
Mimbly's primary customers are businesses with large-scale laundry operations, including housing companies, facility management providers, hotels, and commercial launderers.
