This was bound to happen. Here’s a washing machine that will make it easy for those not skilled in washing clothes. The Individual Washer concept works differently than the typical washer. This upright washing machine has three compartments that will sort and wash your clothes together simultaneously.

Just put your whites in one section, reds in another etc. You won’t have to worry about color bleeding or bleaching and you’ll be saving water and electricity since it uses just one cycle.

Most plastics in stores, in our homes and in our recycling bins are recyclable, but not very much of that actually gets recycled. Only about 6%. And that’s understandable. It’s hard for humans to sort through all those types of plastics. Plus we’re lazy and we tend to daydream a lot. That’s where a robot comes in handy.

This robot was designed by Mitsubishi and Osaka University and uses lasers to sort through all kinds of plastics very quickly. It has five different lasers that measure the reflectivity of each kind of plastic, allowing it to sort them all out.
