Samsung Launches Less Microfiber™ Filter that Moves Towards Protecting Oceans from Laundry Plastics

Posted on by

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of the new Less Microfiber™ Filter, an external washing machine filter designed to significantly reduce plastic microfiber emissions during laundry cycles. Designed with inspiration from apparel maker Patagonia and expertise from the global ocean conservation organisation Ocean Wise, the filter builds on the success of last year’s Less Microfiber™ Cycle to substantially cut microplastics and enable sustainable laundry washing that is both effective and effortless. The new filter is now available in Korea and the U.K., and will roll out to other countries in the third quarter.



“With microplastics emissions to our oceans continuing to increase and regulations being strengthened in many countries, as well as microplastics becoming a growing health concern for people everywhere, Samsung worked with Ocean Wise and Patagonia to engineer technology to help prevent the release of microplastics from our daily life,” said Moohyung Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D Team of Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “With innovations like the Less Microfiber™ Filter and Cycle, Samsung is helping to enable Everyday Sustainability in a wider array of products and making eco-conscious daily practices second nature in the home.”Samsung’s proprietary Ecobubble™ technology. By using bubbles to help dissolve and absorb detergent, less heat and energy is required to wash clothes, resulting in reduced abrasion.



The Less Microfiber™ Filter takes this a step further, preventing up to 98%[2] of microplastics released during laundry from escaping into the ocean if used as specified, equivalent to eight 500ml plastic bottles per year[3] when used four times a week. In addition, to help more customers get involved in cutting microplastic emissions, the Less Microfiber™ Filter has a mountable design style that allows it to be used with standard washing machine models, demonstrating the company’s dedication to long-term sustainability and helping customers move towards embrace sustainability at home. To verify the technology’s efficacy and its features, both Cycle and the Filter were independently evaluated by Ocean Wise using a peer-reviewed microfiber shedding test protocol at the marine organisation’s state-of-the-art lab in Vancouver, Canada.

Samsung’s Ecobubble technology redefines washing efficiency

Posted on by

In a surprising turn of events, washing your clothes in cold water can actually be a wise decision when it comes to doing the laundry. Not only does it save you money, but it also makes a positive impact on the environment while delivering impeccable results.

Samsung’s revolutionary Ecobubble technology has transformed the effectiveness of washing clothes at lower temperatures. Let’s delve into the details of this groundbreaking innovation and how it is revolutionising the laundry experience.

Washers: A household essential with energy implications
With washing machines present in over 96% of German households, these appliances have become an integral part of our lives. However, they also rank among the top 10 energy-consuming devices.

To address the environmental impact and reduce electricity bills, connecting the washer to a warm water supply, using lower temperature modes, and skipping pre-washing are smart choices. WiFi-enabled machines with AI and app control make it easier to select the most suitable programme.

The power of fine foam and low temperatures
Samsung showcases the immense potential of its Ecobubble technology, proving that exceptional washing results can be achieved with the perfect combination of fine foam and low temperatures.

The washing detergent is dissolved in a foam generator before coming into contact with the garments, creating fine foam bubbles by introducing air.

This foam is then introduced into the drum, swiftly penetrating the fabric due to its delicate consistency. As soon as the foam encounters the laundry, it becomes active, ensuring optimal cleanliness.

Ecobubble: Elevating the laundry experience
Samsung’s Ecobubble technology transforms detergent into a foam cushion inside the drum. This not only treats the laundry gently but also results in a 24% more thorough clean at lower temperatures, surpassing conventional 40°C cotton cycles.

#BubblesAgainstTroubles
By immersing the laundry in bubbles for approximately 30 minutes, Ecobubble technology allows deep penetration into the fabric, effectively removing stubborn stains from delicate silk blouses to cosy sweaters. This technique enables stain removal at lower temperatures while achieving remarkable energy savings of up to 70% thanks to the Ecobubble technology.

Intelligent washing machines for a connected future
Modern washing machines equipped with artificial intelligence can recognise the type of fabric being washed and adjust the selected program accordingly. When combined with WiFi capabilities, these machines can be controlled and monitored through apps like SmartThings and SmartThings Energy. SmartThings Energy allows users to effortlessly track their daily, weekly, and monthly energy consumption.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, washing your laundry in cold water has become a game-changer with Samsung’s Ecobubble technology. By harnessing the power of fine foam and low temperatures, Ecobubble provides exceptional cleaning results while saving money and reducing environmental impact.

The ability of AI-equipped washing machines to adapt to different fabric types further enhances convenience and efficiency. Embrace the cold-water laundry revolution, contribute to a sustainable future, and enjoy flawless laundry results every time with Ecobubble technology.
