The price of paper pulp almost doubled in 2022. The good news? There is a reliable alternative to paper towel dispensers: electric hand dryers.
In this article, the JVD team highlights four key advantages of these increasingly popular solutions
Up to 10 Times Cheaper Than Paper
In high-traffic areas, high-speed hand dryers are the ideal solution to keep costs under control while ensuring fast drying times.
JVD hand dryers consume very little energy while delivering efficient performance. This helps reduce electricity consumption and generate real savings.
In addition, our hand dryers require no paper refills and therefore no daily maintenance.
A simple and effective way to estimate the savings generated by installing electric hand dryers in your facility is to use JVD’s savings simulator. It allows you to identify the most economical and environmentally friendly solution for your spaces.

Up to 75% Lower Carbon Emissions
Hand dryers are not only cost-effective — they are also environmentally friendly.
Studies show that the use of high-speed hand dryers can reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% compared to other drying systems (EHA studies).
Paper production and transportation are major contributors to CO₂ emissions. Hand dryers therefore represent an effective solution to reduce environmental impact.
JVD high-speed hand dryers also help lower energy consumption and eliminate the need for consumables.
Nothing to Throw Away with JVD Hand Dryers
By installing hand dryers, clogged sinks and toilets caused by paper towels become a thing of the past.
Paper towels also require flawless logistics to avoid stock shortages. JVD hand dryers eliminate the need for paper restocking and therefore require no daily intervention.
The Preferred Solution Among the French
More pleasant to use than paper towels, electric hand dryers are the preferred choice among the French.
According to a 2018 Harris Interactive study, 40% of users find hand dryers more comfortable to use, and more than one in three French people consider them the least resource-intensive solution.
And they’re right. With electric hand dryers, there is nothing to throw away.
To go even further, JVD innovates with solutions such as Sup’air Fresh. In addition to drying hands efficiently, the Sup’air Fresh hand dryer and its patented technology neutralise unpleasant odours in the air over areas of up to 30 m². Say goodbye to unpleasant restroom odours!
