New Life Cycle Analysis Reveals XLERATOR® Hand Dryers Reduce Carbon Footprint by 94%
Excel Dryer, Inc., a leader in efficient touchless hand dryers, has recently released a new Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that starkly highlights the environmental benefits of their XLERATOR® hand dryers. According to the independent study conducted by TrueNorth Collective, these hand dryers can reduce carbon footprints by an astonishing 94% compared to 100% recycled paper towels. This groundbreaking data underscores not just the effectiveness of the XLERATOR® line but also its pivotal role in promoting sustainable practices in various sectors.
The assessment took a comprehensive look at the hand dryers’ life cycle, evaluating everything from production and transportation to usage and disposal. It scrutinized every stage, including materials used, energy consumption, emissions, and waste output. The results make it clear: using XLERATOR® hand dryers leads to significantly lower environmental impact than relying on traditional paper towels.
"We are incredibly proud of Excel Dryer's commitment to sustainability, especially at a time when many countries are striving for net-zero emissions within the next five years," said Josh Griffing, the company’s Director of International Marketing and Sales. He further explained that the pressures on companies and architects to diminish their environmental footprints are immense. Having a reliable product like the XLERATOR® can assist them in achieving their goals.
Moreover, the move to touchless dryers is more than just an environmental necessity; it also translates into substantial cost savings for businesses. The Excel Dryer's interactive cost savings calculator demonstrates how employing their hand dryers can lead to financial benefits alongside positive climate impacts.
The TrueNorth LCA analysis identified various critical areas of environmental impact, including global warming potential, acidification, smog formation, ozone depletion, resource depletion, water consumption, carcinogen presence, ecotoxicity, and eutrophication. This meticulous evaluation showcases that continuous paper towel replenishment in restrooms contributes to higher costs, demands more maintenance efforts, generates more waste, and exacerbates global warming.
"This confirms what we've known at Excel Dryer for a long time. The ongoing need for paper towels leads to higher costs, requires greater maintenance efforts, results in more waste, and potentially contributes more to global warming. Fortunately, we offer the right solution," Griffing added, highlighting how these hand dryers support businesses aiming for sustainability.
With many enterprises actively working towards net-zero emission targets, selecting sustainable building materials has become increasingly integral. The use of hand dryers plays a vital role in these initiatives, aiding in achieving certifications for green buildings such as LEED and WELL. This collaborative approach towards sustainability not only enhances reputations but also promotes accountability among businesses.
