In production is a new washing machine that intends to make itself user-friendly and to cut down on costs. It consists of empty containers rather than concrete, reducing the machine’s weight by a third. Trucks are also a subject of cost reduction, as the weight they will be carrying is reduced therefore cutting down on emissions. In the UK specifically, they are expected to save a tremendous amount of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Manufacturers are taking their time with this washing machine, ensuring that no downside will be in effect.

Key Takeaways:

• Normally, a budget washer is weighted with 25 kilograms of concrete, designed to keep it steady throughout the spin cycle.
• The new machine addendum, makes the machines far easier to transport, as the weight is cut by about a third.
• They are also cheaper to transport, and by lessening truckload weight, the machines help with limiting dangerous emissions.

“The new invention is a sealable plastic container that is filled with water – but only once the machine is in place.”
