Dryers

Ginetex has revealed the main findings of its recent study on the impact of drying cycles on our power consumption. It shows that the energy consumption of a tumble dryer depends significantly on the spin speed of the washing machine.

The appliance industry, its trade associations and legislators should recognise that all types of tumble dryers can be significant contributors to the problem of environmental microfibre pollution and begin efforts to mitigate this issue through revised usage instructions and improved appliance design.
