The result would be as though 5 million vehicles have been removed from the road. The company also says that the new washing machine will save1.2 billion tons ofwater each year, which equals 17 million swimming pools.The washing machine does its job using small nylon beads that eliminate stains off clothes and lock them into the molecular structure of the nylon.
