Our solution
Reducing water use and increasing energy efficiency are two significant global challenges in creating a more sustainable world. Tackling these two issues together is prevalent at the heart of Lylo's flagship circular economy product - a household aerating washing machine that reuses waste shower water. Our business vision is to create a commercially scalable version that meets sustainable and affordable small-space living demands.
Our product collects waste shower water in a portable ‘tank/mat’ that can be placed inside the shower tray while showering. The ‘tank/mat’ can be easily transferred and attached to our washing machine, which filters and reuses the water to wash clothes without using additional heat.
