Which is a process that requires resources that otherwise wouldn't have been needed. A better question would probably be "Is the amount of waste non-negligible?" which I don't have an answer to, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot more than you expect.
- AstralStorm 8y agoIt depends on whether you clean with a "fill with soapy water and scrub" method or "apply soap, scrub then water jet" method. The latter if done well should be close to what the dishwasher does, but at this point you're better off just washing manually...
- athenot 8y agoIf you're on septic, the resources required to process used water amounts to a tank pump once every 3-5 years.
