Hand Dryer
Why choose hand dryers?
Environmental
Hand dryers save trees from being cut
down and made into paper towels.
Paper towels can be made from recycled paper, but they cannot be recycled. They create millions of cubic feet of waste in landfills.
The production of paper towels is twice as energy-intensive as the use of hand dryers and creates more greenhouse gases.
It takes more energy to produce 2 paper towels than it does to run a typical high speed hand dryer.
To make one ton of recycled paper, it takes 7,000 gallons of water, 158 million BTUs of energy: and 60 gallons of pollutants go into the atmosphere.
Over its lifetime, just one hand dryer will produce 3.0 tons less CO2 than the production of the towels it replaces. (4.6 tons vs 1.6 tons of CO2). The United States Postal Service identified hand dryers as the single most cost and waste reduction alternative in their Pollution Prevention Study.
Financial
Hand dryers operate on pennies a day. Installing hand dyers in public washrooms reduces hand drying expense by an average of 90-95% when compared to paper towels.
The average payback for hand dryers is 12-18 months. Paper costs continue to rise.
