In today’s world, businesses are expected to adopt eco-conscious hand dryers and other environmentally friendly solutions to reduce their carbon footprint. A recent Comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by independent consultancy TrueNorth Collective confirms that Excel’s hand dryers significantly outperform paper towels—including 100% recycled options—across multiple environmental categories.
This study revealed that Excel Dryer’s energy-saving hand dryers can reduce carbon emissions by up to 94%, offering an ideal solution for any business seeking to create a sanitary restroom while minimizing environmental impact.
How Life Cycle Assessment Measures Environmental Impact
A Life Cycle Assessment evaluates a product’s environmental impact from raw material extraction to disposal. This comprehensive approach ensures that both direct and indirect effects are measured, providing a true comparison between Excel’s green hand drying technology and traditional paper towels.
Key benefits of Excel hand dryers include:
✔ Low-Carbon Restroom Equipment – Up to 94% fewer carbon emissions compared to paper towels.
✔ Water Conservation – Requires significantly less water than paper towel production.
✔ Energy Efficiency – Energy-saving hand dryers minimize electricity consumption.
✔ Waste Reduction – Eliminates landfill waste from used paper towels.
✔ Touchless Drying System – Promotes better hygiene in a sanitary restroom by reducing contact points.
Why Paper Towels Are Not a Sustainable Restroom Solution
While paper towels may seem convenient, their environmental cost is high. The production of paper towels requires excessive water use during manufacturing, high energy consumption for production and transportation, and ongoing landfill waste from daily disposal.
In contrast, eco-conscious hand dryers consume minimal electricity, require no raw materials for daily use, and eliminate ongoing maintenance costs related to paper towel replacement. By switching to environmentally friendly hand dryers, businesses can significantly reduce their ecological footprint while maintaining a clean, sanitary restroom environment.
Excel’s Energy-Saving Hand Dryers Align with Green Building Standards
Excel Dryer’s green hand drying technology aligns with global sustainability goals, including the push for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Additionally, these hand dryers contribute to certifications such as LEED and WELL, supporting businesses in achieving their green building objectives.
Benefits of eco-conscious hand dryers include:
✔ Faster drying times with minimal energy consumption.
✔ Touchless drying system to reduce cross-contamination.
✔ Energy-saving hand dryers that reduce operational costs.
✔ Low-carbon restroom equipment designed for long-term environmental benefits.
Supporting Visual Evidence: Global Warming Potential and Sustainability
The LCA study further illustrates the environmental benefits of Excel Dryer’s touchless drying systems. Compared to both standard and recycled paper towels, Excel’s XLERATOR®, XLERATOReco®, and ThinAir® hand dryers produce significantly lower CO2 emissions, reducing their contribution to global warming. These energy-saving hand dryers also support cleaner air by lowering harmful emissions and minimizing resource consumption. By replacing paper towels with energy-efficient hand dryers, businesses can create a more hygienic restroom environment while promoting sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.
Additionally, facilities will experience significant cost savings by replacing paper towels with eco-conscious hand dryers. By not having to continuously buy reams of paper towels to stock restrooms, facilities can achieve up to a 95% cost savings with the return on investment of installing this low-carbon restroom equipment being met in less than a year for most facilities.
