A single household runs hundreds of wash cycles a year, and each one uses water, energy and detergent. The good news is that small adjustments add up to a meaningful reduction in footprint.
Washing in cold water, running full loads, air drying when possible, and using a microfibre-catching laundry bag all reduce energy use and microplastic shedding without any loss of cleanliness.
At scale, professional facilities are often greener than home washing because they recycle water and use high-efficiency machines. PRESSO uses water-recycling systems and biodegradable chemicals to keep impact low.
