# Smart Sustainable Presses The Philips 44722 Iron Exercises Eco Intelligence By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-10-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-44722-iron References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/2010-COMPETITION-PHILIPS-44722/899502) Until [clothes dryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-lab-launbot) learn how to do the job for you, ironing will remain a tedious chore. The good news is that concepts like the [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-oneup-electric-mop) 44722 Iron make the process of pressing your work attire a great deal easier on your itinerary and the environment. For one thing, this cutting-edge appliance boasts the ability to fill its own reservoir. The base acts as a dehumidifier, absorbing [moisture from the air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steamflow-humidifier) through an integrated "auto-gill" system which tops up the water in the steamer so you don't have to. It therefore cuts down on H2O consumption, and performs all the more admirably by recapturing the vapor it expels to use it once again. Designed by Rizki Tarisa, the Philips 44722 Iron is quick and efficient, moderating its electrical use by switching dormant when the user pauses on the job. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Irons:** Innovative iron designs that prioritize sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as self-filling reservoirs and energy-efficient features. - **Auto-filling Appliances:** Appliances designed to self-fill their reservoirs, reducing water consumption and optimizing performance. - **Energy-efficient Home Appliances:** The development of smarter, more sustainable home appliances that moderate energy use and reduce environmental impact. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Appliances:** Companies manufacturing and distributing eco-friendly home appliances with advanced features for convenience and efficiency. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Manufacturers creating eco-friendly products that prioritize sustainability and minimal environmental impact through innovative design and production. - **Smart Home Technology:** Developers creating connected devices and appliances for the home that are environmentally conscious and energy-efficient, reducing overall consumption and saving consumers money. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Fucntional Steam Iron Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darimeven.md) - [Pressurized Steam-Equipped Clothing Irons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressurized-steamequipped-clothing-iron.md) - [Handheld Garment Cleaning Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-dry-cleaner.md) - [Shapeshifting Garment Care Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garment-steamer.md) - [Clip-Style Clothing Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steamur.md) - [High-Tech Clothing Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-clothing-care.md) - [Garment-Drying Laundry Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-lab-launbot.md) - [Free Standing Laundry Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eeva.md) - [Eco-Friendly Washing Machine Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washing-machine-technology.md)
