New LCA Shows XLERATOR Hand Dryers Reduce Carbon Footprint by 94% Compared to Paper Towels

Significant Environmental Findings in Recent LCA Research

A new Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) reveals that Excel Dryer’s innovative XLERATOR® hand dryers greatly reduce environmental impact compared to traditional paper towels. Conducted by the independent consulting firm TrueNorth Collective, the analysis indicates a remarkable 94% reduction in carbon emissions from production to disposal.

Josh Griffing, the marketing and international sales director at Excel Dryer, expressed pride in these findings. He stated, “At Excel Dryer, we have long recognized our strong sustainability metrics, especially as many countries aim for net-zero emissions in just five years. It's gratifying to offer a solution that helps architects and business owners minimize their environmental impact.”

The recent LCA evaluated the full lifecycle of XLERATOR hand dryers and their paper towel counterparts, encompassing all inputs and outputs of materials, energy, water, and pollutants. It considered categories such as global warming potential, ozone depletion, smog formation, and water usage. The results were clear: moving away from paper towels and adopting hand dryer technology not only saves money but also fosters a healthier environment.

As businesses increasingly pursue net-zero goals and sustainability targets, adopting efficient hand drying solutions becomes vital. In addition to reducing waste, XLERATOR hand dryers contribute to green building certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and WELL, aligning with modern construction practices.

An interactive cost calculator provided by Excel Dryer shows potential savings over time, demonstrating that while initial investments may be higher, operational costs plummet as reliance on disposable paper towels decreases. This, coupled with their high efficiency, positions XLERATOR as a superior option.

Griffing emphasized the importance of these findings, stating, “Continuous replenishment of paper towels leads to higher costs, increased maintenance, and potentially accelerates climate change. We are fortunate to provide an effective solution to this problem.”

In an era of climate awareness, it is crucial for businesses to choose materials and products that are sustainable and support eco-friendly practices. XLERATOR hand dryers represent a leap forward in that direction, reaffirming Excel Dryer’s commitment to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.

As a family-owned company, Excel Dryer revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the XLERATOR hand dryer, setting new standards for performance, reliability, and customer satisfaction. For more than 50 years, Excel has been producing American-made hand drying solutions that combine efficiency and environmental responsibility.
