Sweden-based Electrolux Professional recently announced a partnership with Swedish cleantech startup Mimbly. The partnership is aimed at water saving and microplastic filtration technology. Paolo Schira – the company’s president for business area laundry – stated that by partnering with Mimbly, the company intends to further strengthen its position as the sustainability leader in the industry.  

The startup has developed a technical plug-in solution called Mimbox that lowers water consumption, filters microplastic down to around 50 microns, and saves energy from retaining the water. Together, the companies intend to co-develop solutions within the field of microplastic filtration and reinforce their commitment to sustainable innovation in laundry care.

The constant necessity to be more efficient in water and energy usage, in combination with the preparation for any future regulatory requirements are the key drivers for this partnership. Apart from that, Electrolux Professional will also take a minority stake in Mimbly.
