Energy efficient electric hand dryers use less energy and natural resources than paper towels.

• To produce one ton of paper towels consumes 17 trees and pollutes 20,000 gallons of water.
• And then there’s all the energy required and pollution created to cut down trees, take them to the mill, and turn the trees into paper towels.
• Once you’re done with the paper towels, they will take up space the size of a compact car in the landfill.
• Hand dryers generate no waste, thereby reducing what goes to the landfill.
