From the Coin Laundry Association:
- No Technical Solution Available at Commercial Laundry Scale –no such filters nor filtration systems exist for laundromat washers at a scale required for consistent compliance.
- Legislation Ought to Exempt Commercial Washers
- Customer Property in Garments would Disable Filters – items commonly found in commercial washer drain valves would immediately disable any microfiber filter.
- Extended Agitation Would Cause Garments to Shed Additional Microfibers – Commercial washers are equipped with sensors that monitor the effectiveness of the drain function – if water is draining slowly, the wash drum will continue to rotate for as long as 40 minutes waiting for the wastewater to drain.
- Per Washer Filtration Would Consume More Water & Energy and Generate More Waste – A per-washer filtration system would result in massively more waste and water/energy consumption.
- Per Washer Filtration Would Cause Mechanical Failures
- Per Washer Filtration Would Add Significantly to Cost – These costs would be passed along as a burden to the lowest income families
