If you’re keen to give your green credentials a serious boost this year, then you need to make sure that you have hand dryers installed in your toilet cubicles rather than providing your members of staff or customers with paper towels to dry their hands with.
Not only are these dryers a lot more hygienic and can do a lot to keep your bathrooms looking pristine for longer, they can also really help to keep the amount of rubbish going off to landfill down to a minimum.
Many people out there think that hand dryers are worsefor the environment because they use a lot of electricity to run, but a recent report conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that cold air-driven dryers do not actually generate a huge amount of carbon emissions.
It was discovered that warm air hand dryers and paper towels typically generate 70 per cent more CO2 emissions than cold air dryers, so if you’re keen to do your bit for the environment it might be an idea to look at what you can buy to help you do just that.
If you’re eager to make your bathroom look as modern and inviting as possible, then a state-of-the-art hand dryer is definitely the way to go. Certainly, they look a lot better than a paper towel dispenser and there’s nothing more annoying than going into the washroom to find the floor littered with paper towels. If you want to keep your bathroom looking clean and tidy, hand dryers are the best option for you.
