A new study confirms dryer machines are an equal threat to the environment as washing machines.
And second, we now know that drying one load of laundry in a residential dryer is equally as bad for the environment as doing one wash load, suggests, earlier this year. A team of scientists at Northumbria University and scientists at Procter & Gamble conducted the research and found that a drying cycle releases the same amount of potentially harmful microfibers into the air as a wash load releases into the water system.
Even before this study came out, the Natural Resources Defense Council were calling for more environmentally and energy efficient dryers. “Clothes dryers are arguably the most important of all residential appliances in need of an energy efficiency upgrade,” writes the NRDC in a“Of the washer-dryer pair, clothes washers have received more attention with a complete makeover over the past two decades. Nearly half of all models now open from the front rather than the top, which allows them to spin more water out of the clothing and reduce energy and water consumption,” the NRDC states.

Versatile strategy for homogeneous drying patterns of dispersed particles - Nature CommunicationsCoating technologies call for effective methods capable of suppressing the coffee-ring effect for a uniform particle deposition. Rey et al. show homogeneous drying patterns can be achieved via physically adsorbing polymers onto particle surfaces and the method is applicable to a wide range of materials regardless of the shape of the dispersed particles.
