“Little attention has been paid to the damage caused by washing garments and textiles that poses a huge environmental challenge. Reports suggest that by 2030, India’s water demand is projected to be twice the available supply and taps in major cities are expected to run dry. Our latest offering is a result of our commitment towards sustainability and is aligned with our vision of enabling a healthy planet with the help of state-of-the-art technology. It not only gives better return on investments to our customers but also engages them in our efforts towards a more sustainable planet,” said the IFB spokesperson.
“Washing of clothes puts immense stress on the environment and very few are aware of this. This is our sincere effort towards a sustainable future to avoid the breaking point. It is imperative that we make efforts in delivering solutions that consume less and save more. A Xeros technology-enabled machine uses significantly less water, detergent and energy compared to a conventional washing system. The more you use it, the more money you will save,” said Mike Ferrand, Managing Director, Commercial Products, Xeros Technologies.
