Hand Dryers Vs Paper Towels
Which method of hand drying is more appropriate,
an electric hand dryer or a paper towel? In order
to do such a comparison, one must first evaluate
the three key elements that will influence the
outcome environmental, hygienic, and economic
cost. Diverse studies are being conducted on a
regular basis in order to finally answer these
concerns, while both the paper towel and
Commercial hand dryer markets attempt to fiercely
defend their respective products. Hand
dryers Hand dryers are electric equipment used
to dry hands in public restrooms. They may be
operated manually or automatically through an
infrared sensor. Hand dryers are classified into
two types the traditional, warm-air hand dryer
introduced by George Clemens in 1948 and the jet
models popularized by Dyson since 2006.

• Paper Towel
• A paper towel is a disposable, absorbent textile
  made of paper rather than cloth. Paper towels are
  either standard or made from recycled materials.
• Comparison of Hand Dryers and Paper Towel on the
  basis of Three Key Elements
• 1. Environmental
• First, let us evaluate the environmental impact
  of paper towels vs hand dryers.
• Environmental impact of paper Towel
• Trees are cut down throughout the production
  process, and the timber must be transported to
  facilities where it is transformed into paper
  towels. The environmental cost of such a
  procedure is high since fossil fuels are used to
  provide the electrical energy required for both
  the production process and packaging, as well as
  the cost of transportation from the facility to
  the customer.

• Furthermore, because paper towels cant be reused
  once theyre unclean, theyll need to be
  replenished on a regular basis. Because paper
  towels are formed of organic material, when they
  are disposed of in a landfill, harmful greenhouse
  gasses such as methane are generated during the
  decomposition process.
• Paper towels make up 2 of total landfills in the
  United States, making this a significant concern.
  So, while it is impossible to analyze all
  environmental aspects associated with paper towel
  consumption, one may conclude that paper towels
  do leave a considerable carbon footprint.
• Environment Impact of Hand Dryer
• Let us check out the environmental effect of hand
  dryers.
• A Commercial hand dryer will take around 1.5Kw
  (per hour of use) of electricity and is expected
  to last approximately 10 years. It is obvious
  that some electricity is used in supplying a hand
  dryer once it is installed however, when
  compared to paper towels, CO2 emissions are much
  lower in terms of transporting the product.

• Hand Dryer v/s Paper Towels Which is more
  eco-friendly?
• According to studies, a hand dryer is
  approximately three times more eco-friendly than
  paper towels, producing about a 1/3 of the CO2
  that paper towels do. Furthermore, there is no
  waste generated by the use of electric hand
  dryers, which saves landfill space and reduces
  the number of dangerous greenhouse gasses
  discharged into the environment. It has also been
  discovered that during the productive life of the
  average hand dryer, approximately 24 fewer trees
  are chopped down than if paper towels.
• 2. Hygiene
• Let us check out, which is more hygienic Hand
  Dryer or Paper Towels
• Sanitizing with Hand Dryers
• Hand dryers are not as hygienic as paper towels
  and are known to transmit germs. Microorganisms
  can be blown up to one foot by standard dryers,
  but up to 6.5 feet by jet dryers. Bacteria on the
  hands climbed 194 to 254 percent with normal
  dryers and 15 to 42 percent.

• Sanitizing with Paper Towels
• Paper towels are both expensive and sanitary due
  to their disability. Furthermore, the physical
  activity of drying the hands eliminates
  microorganisms. Finally, hands dry quickly,
  generally within 10 to 15 seconds, which avoids
  cross-contamination since bacteria transmit from
  moist skin. As a result, drying hands using paper
  towels decreased germs on the hand before washing
  by 76 to 77 percent.
• Hand Dryer v/s Paper Towels Which is more
  Hygenic?
• There are several online rumors claiming that
  hand dryers spread germs, sometimes even more
  germs than paper towels. But are these stories
  real, or is something else going on?
• First and foremost, we must recognize that germs,
  also known as microorganisms, exist everywhere.
  You wont be able to get away from them. The best
  method to keep hazardous germs at bay is to wash
  your hands for 20 seconds before thoroughly
  drying them with a paper towel or a hand dryer.
  Good hygiene consists of both thorough washing
  and proper drying.

3. Cost The Cost is the important element to
consider for comparing Hand Dryers with Paper
Towels. Cost of Hand Dryers After the initial
investment of purchasing and installing a hand
dryer, their operating costs are substantially
lower. According to the EPA, ordinary hand dryers
cost 0.0125 per use and jet dryers cost 0.00809
each use, both of which include the original
purchase cost. Cost of Paper Towels Paper towels
require not just the towels alone, but also a
disposal location that involves extra costs such
as bin liners, manpower, and so on. Paper towels
also have clean-up and disposal expenses. The
cost of two regular paper towels is calculated by
the researchers to be 0.0625.

Hand Dryer v/s Paper Towels Which is more
expensive? The initial cost of an electric hand
dryer clearly outweighs that of its competitor,
the hand towel. It is also true that practically
all Handy Dryers units will pay for themselves in
less than a year. Without including the cost of
garbage bags and upkeep, an average-sized
business will pay roughly 2,000 per year. In
comparison, the initial cost of an electric hand
dryer is around 60, with an annual operating
cost of around 60. Final Words Finally, these
three factors are all interconnected when
selecting which technique of hand drying is best
for your specific scenario. It is preferable,
however, to invest in the development of hand
dryers rather than utilizing paper towels for the
purpose of short-term eco-friendliness. This is
due to the fact that continual technology
advancements are critical in ensuring long-term
environmental sustainability since hand dryer
efficiency is always growing.
