Celebrate World Environment Day with a Smarter, Greener Laundry Routine

[Lucy C]

As it's World Environment Day today (yes, that is your cue to finally water the plants), it’s the perfect time to give your laundry habits a sustainable refresh. Although washing clothes might not be the most glamorous job, with SmartThings, it can be smart, energy-efficient, and way better for the planet. Cleaner clothes and a cleaner conscience? Count us in.

Shrink your microplastic footprint – not your socks

 We all love a fluffy jumper or our favourite gym leggings, but did you know that washing synthetic fibres releases microscopic plastic particles into the water? Not ideal. Enter the Microplastic Reduction Cycle, developed in partnership with the eco-friendly clothing brand Patagonia. Using gentle drum movements and Eco Bubble™ tech, this smart cycle reduces friction between clothes, protects your fabrics and helps reduce the number of microplastics your laundry sends out into the world.

Now you can save your clothes and the oceans!

Trap the troublemakers before they hit the sea

 If you really want to level up your eco game, install the Samsung Less Microfiber™ Filter – a clever little device that captures up to 98% of microplastics released during washing. Think of it as your laundry’s eco-friendly bodyguard! And don’t worry – when the filter needs a clean, SmartThings Home Care will ping you a reminder. No guesswork, no guilt, just smart laundry wins all round.

Save energy without even thinking about it

 Let’s talk energy saving. Thanks to Eco Bubble™ tech, your clothes can now be washed effectively at lower temperatures – saving energy and lowering your bills (double win). Want to go even further? Activate AI Energy Mode in SmartThings, which cleverly adjusts your machine’s energy usage to match the load. That’s up to 70% energy savings without lifting a finger.

So this World Environment Day, why not start at home? Making small changes to your laundry routine with SmartThings can have a big impact – on your wardrobe, your wallet, and the planet.

Because doing the right thing should be as easy as pressing ‘Start’!
