We have designed a product which helps students wash their laundry using less water than a normal washing machine. Water is collected in the removable water tank, which can be placed on the shower floor like a mat. Once you have finished showering, you can reattach the tank to the base. The machine filters the water and uses it to wash your clothes.

As students, we understand that doing laundry is hard: finding the time, transporting the clothes and paying high prices. On average, a single person uses 149 litres of water per day, 12% on showering and 13% on laundry. This dramatically increases with students, who spend nearly an hour and a half in the shower per week—wasting over 15,000 litres of clean water per student a year. So why not reuse this water to address the clothes washing issue.

An eco-startup created by two product design graduates focused on reducing the UK's water crisis. England is set to run short of water within 25 years. Lylo promotes water efficiency by offering products that find new and innovative ways to reuse water.
