Korea Water Cluster launches pilot project for low-carbon mineral detergent innovation

The Korea Water Cluster, a government-led hub supporting R&D and commercialization in the water sector, announced Friday that it has partnered with LG Electronics and the Korea Water Forum — Korea’s leading international nonprofit organization in the water sector — to launch a pilot project focused on developing and validating low-carbon mineral detergent technology. The initiative centers on the mechanism of mineral detergent washing, which leverages soluble glass and other mineral-based ingredients to achieve low-temperature washing performance, significantly reducing energy consumption, water usage and reliance on commercial chemical detergents. The project aims to deliver a synergetic effect by combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices to promote broader societal adoption of eco-conscious cleaning methods. The project offers specialized performance, enabling effective cleaning with low damage to laundry while also prioritizing user safety. A clinical test for sensitive skin safety is being conducted to ensure the detergent’s suitability for everyday use aWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
