Touchless Hand Dryer - Recessed Model PDC-R10

A Greener Alternative:

Saves trees, reduces landfill waste & pollution The production of paper towels is twice as energy-intensive as the use of hand dryers, and it creates more greenhouse gases. Over its lifetime, one hand dryer will produce 1.6 tons of carbon dioxide, versus the 4.6 tons of carbon dioxide that will be produced manufacturing the towels it replaces.

It takes more energy to produce two paper towels than it does to run a typical high-speed hand dryer cycle. Paper towels can be made from recycled paper, but they can’t be recycled themselves, creating millions of cubic feet of waste in landfills.

Producing one ton of recycled paper takes 7,000 gallons of water and 158 million BTUs of energy - and 60 pounds of pollutants will go into the air.
A typical school using 30 hand dryers will save 17 trees worth of paper towels per year.
