How polymer beads cut utility costs in laundry

Our daily laundry consumes huge amounts of water and energy. Researchers at the pioneering start-up Xerox in the United Kingdom have developed a revolutionary solution addressing saving potential as well as quality improvements in the laundry. Xerox uses polymer-based beads with a diameter of 4 to 6 millimeters to substitute large parts of the water used: The fabric massaging effect of the up to 1.5 million reusable polymer beads in a 25-kilogram commercial laundry machine can reduce water and detergent use by more than 50 percent.
