LG's Waterless Washing Machine – The CO₂ Revolution in Fabric Care
LG is creating a futuristic waterless washer using CO₂. Learn how this technology could redefine laundry and drive carbon-smart living. Imagine tossing your clothes into the washer—without using a drop of water. That’s the bold new frontier LG Electronics is venturing into with its pioneering CO₂-powered laundry machine. It’s not just a new gadget; it’s potentially a new chapter in sustainable living. 1. So, What Exactly Is It? Rather than detergent and water, LG's prototype uses liquid carbon dioxide to clean fabrics. Under the right pressure and temperature, CO₂ turns into a liquid that binds to grime and dissolves it efficiently. Think of it as dry cleaning but smarter, safer, and greener. Zero water consumption No need for chemical-laden detergents Lower energy use—no heat cycle required CO₂ gets reused in a closed system 2. Why the Big Deal? LG isn’t new to laundry innovation—they’ve already introduced Tromm washers and the Styler. But this project is about...
