Paper towels can cost up to 10x more than electric hand dryers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Paper towel costs are volatile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cellulose, water and energy: the three pillars of paper towels are also among the materials most exposed to industrial inflation. Energy crises have a direct impact on paper prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand dryers use very little energy<\/strong> while offering a fast drying time of 10 to 20 seconds. In the end, this means lower electricity use and greater savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, they require no labour for paper towel refills and therefore no daily intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n An investment that quickly pays for itself <\/h3>\n

At first glance, an electric hand dryer requires an initial investment. But it then generates zero recurring costs: no consumables, no deliveries, no labour for refilling, no waste management.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n \"\"\n <\/figure>\n
\n

\n Zero refill labour costs <\/h3>\n

Hand dryers require no daily intervention. Unlike paper towels, there is nothing to refill, nothing to empty and nothing to reorder. Every paper towel station removed is a direct saving on your operating costs.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n Controlled electricity consumption <\/h3>\n

Our devices consume between 550 W and 1,800 W depending on the model, for only 10 to 20 seconds per use. Based on real-life usage, electricity costs amount to just a few cents per day, even in a high-traffic facility.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Meet your CSR goals with hand dryers !<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hand dryers can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 75%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your CSR commitments, this is a concrete, measurable and communicable lever. Your emissions reduction can be quantified, documented and presented in your annual reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While paper manufacturing and transport generate a significant amount of CO2, high-speed hand dryers are the ideal solution to reduce your environmental footprint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
