LONDON – Home appliances company Grundig says it’s launched the world’s first washing machine with an integrated microfibre filter, capable of capturing up to 90 per cent of contaminants.
Grundig is a brand in the portfolio of Beko plc, which is part of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Microplastics that last week called for nationwide mandate on washing machine filters.
Teresa Arbuckle, managing director of Beko plc, commented: “Our parent company, Arçelik is committed to investing in sustainable technology, from using recycled fishing nets and recycled plastic bottles in our appliances, to launching our most innovative product to date to help with microplastic pollution - the Grundig FiberCatcher washing machine.”
