🧺 7. Eco-Friendly Washing Gadgets
The LG WashTower and Samsung EcoBubble use AI and bubble tech to clean clothes with less water and detergent. Some even offer cold-wash cycles that save energy without sacrificing cleanliness.

Countertop composters like Lomi or Vitamix Food Cycler turn food scraps into soil in hours. They’re compact, odor-free, and ideal for urban dwellers who want to reduce landfill waste without the mess.
