00:00So what I've done today is I've loaded the washing machine with some cotton plastic
00:05soil sanded and all the stuff you see in an actual wash.
00:10It's worth mentioning, Sanjeev, so we created synthesised material and this, so we're helping set the IEC standard in Europe.
00:21So IEC is the international standard for how washing machines, like how they're sold, the regulatory versions of that.
00:27We're part of a working group, which Bosh had a chair on, which basically say this is the standard that should be for all washing machines going forward to have this.
00:36Once you have that standard, then it leads us into the legislation space.
00:39You can see the motor railing, and second, it will then clean the whole thing.
00:43So at the end of the wash, the filters and this one works.
00:47So that core technology behind Sanjeev is what we refer to as regen, and that is the same technology.
