Hand Dryers - Good for the Environment And Economical Too

Hand dryers are a fantastic fixture in any restroom that helps people properly wash their hands and stay safe from germs. Although, just because an appliance is comfortable and convenient doesn’t mean it’s inherently eco-friendly or financially sound; have you ever wondered if helpful dryers are actually good for the environment and your finances?

Before you purchase any new dryers for your facility’s restrooms, it would be best if you always looked up their environmental impact and how much they will cost over time. After all, your new dryers will hopefully be in your facility for many years, so it would be best to ensure that you won’t be paying an unreasonable amount of money to keep them running. 

So, how are hand dryers environmentally and economically friendly?

How Are Dryers Good For The Environment?

If you compare dryers that use jets of air to dry your hands and paper towel dispensers, you can probably immediately think of a few reasons why dryers are better for the environment. For one, unlike paper towel dispensers, dryers don’t produce a lot of waste in the form of used paper towels. Not only do used paper towels quickly fill up rubbish bins, but they also almost always end up on the floors and around your restroom, where they create unsightly messes. Even the presence of a few discarded paper towels can make an entire facility seem much more unkempt and unclean. 

Overall, hand dryers are a very green option to choose. This fact is particularly true if you decide to purchase modern high-end dryers that are built with energy consumption and environmental impact in mind. With newer and more innovative dryer designs, you can save even more energy than before.

In the past, dryers that used heated jets of air to evaporate and disperse the water on your hands were more common. This, naturally, took more energy because the dryer would need to expend more power to heat up the air. 

However, nowadays, there are wonderful dryers that use a concentrated jet of air to blow the water off of your hands with a squeegee-like effect. This effect can be achieved without heated air, so each use actually saves more energy than before. In addition to that, these newer hand dryers are also more efficient than older models, making them more enjoyable for people using them. 

For example, the Dyson Airblade V Quiet hand dryer is an exceptionally excellent model to choose. Along with being relatively quiet and pleasant to use, this innovative dryer is incredibly energy efficient and emits around 62% less CO2 than standard paper towel dispensers.

How Are Dryers A Great Economic Choice?

As you can see, dryers are a fantastic option if you rightfully care about your impact on the environment. But in business, money is also a very important factor. So, how cost-effective are modern hand dryers?

If you are considering getting great new dryers for your restrooms, you will be happy to know that well-designed dryers are an incredible choice if you care about your facility’s long-term costs. Even though high-end dryers will often have higher installation costs when compared to paper towel dispensers, especially dispensers that do not use electricity to dispense towels, they are outstandingly cost-effective once they’re installed. 

After you first pay for your new dryers and have them installed, you will still need to pay for the electricity to have them run correctly. But, depending on the model, state-of-the-art dryers cost only fractions of a cent for every use. On average, the monthly cost of using hand dryers is less than half the monthly cost of using paper towel paper towel dispensers dispensers.

Therefore, even though the initial costs of fancier dryers may put some people off, it is entirely worth it in the end. If you choose a fantastic contemporary hand dryer over a paper towel dispenser, you will save much more money in utility fees in the long run.
