Polygiene

Understanding the Impact of Washing

Polygiene partnered with SWECO to conduct an in-depth external lifecycle assessment of a T-shirt, meticulously examining the environmental impacts across its entire lifecycle. The findings were striking: reducing the frequency of washing by half can lead to a remarkable one-third reduction in the overall environmental impact. Here’s what can be saved by simply cutting one wash:

Results are based on an independent lifecycle assessment performed by Sweco on a specified T-shirt use scenario. Results may vary depending on garment type, consumer behavior and washing frequency.

  • 51 KWH saved per year

    Equivalent to 500 hours of computing time

  • 3,800 litres of water

    Roughly equivalent to the amount needed for 50 bathtubs

Polygiene’s advanced technologies are designed to extend the freshness of textiles, allowing them to stay cleaner for longer and reducing the need for frequent washes. This not only conserves substantial amounts of water and energy but also helps in decreasing microfiber shedding and lessening the frequency of garment replacements.
