France’s preferred drying solution
According to a Harris Interactive – JVD study (Nov. 2018), handwashing has become a daily habit for most French people. And when it comes to drying, electric hand dryers are the top choice:
40% of users prefer them, compared to 32% for paper towels and 24% for fabric towels. Over one in three believe electric dryers are the most resource-efficient solution. More than 8 in 10 say hand dryers are suitable for all public places.
Up to 10x cheaper than paper towels!
In high-traffic environments, high-speed dryers are the only solution that offers controlled costs and fast drying times (10 to 20 seconds). JVD hand dryers are energy efficient and help reduce electricity use while cutting operational costs.
They also eliminate the need for manual paper restocking and daily maintenance, saving you time and resources.
Nothing to throw away with JVD dryers
Say goodbye to overflowing bins and scattered paper waste. Unlike paper towels, electric hand dryers offer a clean, efficient, zero-waste solution.
No more crumpled paper, no more rubbish, just hygienic, eco-friendly drying, with no waste, no clutter, and a lower environmental footprint. Paper towels also require a flawless supply chain to avoid stockouts.
Up to 75% lower carbon emissions!
Studies show that hand dryers can reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% compared to other drying methods (source: EHA). Paper production and transport are major CO2 contributors.
High-speed hand dryers are the ideal solution to reduce your ecological footprint, cut energy use, and eliminate the need for consumables.
