Why Water Resilience Starts in the Laundry Room: Mimbox 2 for Smarter, Sustainable Facilities
The overlooked opportunity in facilities
Facility and sustainability teams are under pressure to reduce water use, lower carbon, and report real outcomes. Laundry rooms can consume up to 500 liters per cycle in professional settings, yet they often sit outside the sustainability plan. With Mimbox 2, this space becomes a predictable source of water savings, microplastic reduction, and trustworthy ESG data.
What Mimbox 2 does
Mimbox 2 is a plug-and-play retrofit device that connects to commercial washing machines. It captures used water, filters out microplastics and microfibers, then reuses the cleaned water in subsequent cycles. By reusing warm greywater, facilities reduce both water consumption and energy demand while lowering environmental discharge.
Proven outcomes from existing installations
Up to 70% water reused per cycle
Up to 90% microplastic and microfiber capture at ≥50 μm
Up to 30% energy reduction through reuse of warm greywater
Built for real operations
Mimbox 2 integrates with existing laundry rooms. There is no need to replace machines or redesign plumbing. Installation is fast with minimal disruption, which helps teams implement sustainability upgrades without high capital expenditure.
Suitable for:
Student housing and co-living
Hotels and hospitality groups
Commercial laundry services
Healthcare laundry facilities
Central laundry systems in universities or real estate portfolios
Operational notes:
Works with most front-loading commercial machines across brands
One unit can serve up to three 10 kg machines or one 20 kg machine
Maintenance is minimal and can be performed by internal teams or partners
Trackable performance for ESG and operations
Sustainability is only useful when it is measurable. With Mimboard and Mimsights, teams can track the impact of every cycle in one place.
You can monitor:
Water use and savings
Microplastic and microfiber capture
Energy use and CO₂e reduction insights
Exportable reports for ESG-aligned performance metrics
This data supports internal KPIs and external reporting, and it helps operations detect issues early.
Future-ready for regulation
Environmental rules on microplastic filtration and credible claims are tightening. France requires microplastic filters in washing machines from 2025. EU policy work on green claims and product sustainability is advancing. Mimbox 2 helps facilities anticipate compliance, simplify audits, and avoid costly last-minute retrofits.
A simple scenario that scales
Consider a building with four commercial washers running ten cycles per day. By reusing a large share of warm greywater, the system can save thousands of liters each week while reducing heating demand. Over a year this supports lower utility costs, less discharge to local waterways, and a more resilient water strategy. The same approach scales across a portfolio.
Who benefits
Mimbox 2 is a practical, scalable upgrade for any site with high-usage laundry.
Facility and operations managers who want predictable utility savings
ESG and sustainability teams who need auditable, cycle-level data
Portfolio managers who require a retrofit approach that scales across properties
