Re-Cycle: Eco-friendly washing machine preserves water

November 14, 2008

Based on the water preservation theme, ‘Future of Water,’ of the Whirlpool 2008 Contest, the Re-Cycle is a sustainable washing machine design, that seems well equipped to tackle the water crisis, looming large across the world. Designed to match modern residential apartments, the revolutionary washing machine comes with a three-in-one Laundry Center, including a washing machine, a dryer and filter with water tank. The water used for washing the clothes doesn’t go to waste, as an innovative mechanism deposits and recycles the used water in a separate tank that can be used for the next wash.

Design Status:

The Re-Cycle is a futuristic washing machine concept that will help in conserving the water by re-using it.

Usability:

Conceptualized by a Mexican student designer, the futuristic washing machine will not only help in saving the water, but space as well as energy, as it rotates clockwise and propels the water from the washing machine to the tank and vice versa, using the force of gravity. Moreover, the distinctive design of the Re-Cycle makes it a stylish home product.
