They think we are fools.
how much will they cost? both machine & beads
Exactly. High-tech nylon beads don’t just drop out the sky, like water does. And if they can only be re-used “up to” 100 times, what becomes of them after they’re worn out? Do they end up dumped in the ocean, killing marine life that mistakes them for food?
It seems to me it would make a lot more sense to design a washing machine that reclaims the water it uses, instead of using virtually no water in the first place. There is a machine that does washing and drying all in the same machine, and with no vent, by using condensation to dry the clothes. The water from both the washing and the condensation-drying just gets drained out and it uses more energy than a regular dryer, but moving in this general direction could make a lot of sense. The water used to wash and rinse the clothes could be either largely reclaimed via filtering, or diverted as “gray water” (for water lawns, etc).
Me, personally, I’m not wearing any clothes that were “washed” in a machine using only a cup of water and no other solvents.
