Mimbly

Isabella Palmgren (Sweden)

Mimbly designs and develops innovative solutions aimed to change unsustainable behaviours, with a focus on laundry.

Mimbly has designed the Mimbox, the first ever “plug-and-play” add-on device that can connect to any type of washing machine to capture the microplastics released during each wash, acting as a single barrier to retain microplastics as small as 50 microns from reaching the waterways. The Mimbox also cuts up to 70% of water consumption by filtering and recycling the greywater, as well as reduces up to 30% of the energy consumed in water heating, all with unaltered quality in the wash results.
