WASHROOM WARM AIR ELECTRIC HAND
DRYERS - A MORE RESPONSIBLE CHOICE
Everyone knows we have a duty to preserve precious natural resources for the future. That is why it is so important to fit washrooms with environmentally friendly warm air hand dryers. Quite simply, they are a more responsible choice because there is no need to fell trees to produce paper towels. Warm air hand dryers also eliminate the cost of paper towels and the mess and waste they cause, once soiled. Plus, they work 24/7/365 using negligible energy.
More than this, warm air hand dryers are extremely hygienic because there is no risk of cross-infection from soiled towels. Nor is there any pollution from detergents used to wash roller towels.
Simply, from a cost point of view, warm air hand dryers save up to 80% of the cost of supplying and maintaining a washroom with paper or roller towels. Once installed, low maintenance means that servicing is virtually eliminated.
Proof that, with Airdri warm air hand dryers, protecting the environment needn't be an expensive option.
Airdri has launched an independently published report that highlights the environmental benefits of warm air hand driers compared to paper towels.
Carried out by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), an independent research organisation, the streamlined Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study concludes that the use of hand driers results in a smaller environmental footprint than the use of paper towels, based on a number of assumptions such as the use of two paper towels per dry and the use of a hand drier for an average of 30 seconds per dry. The study suggests that, with regards to environmental performance, paper towels should not be chosen in preference to the hand air drier modelled within the research.
