Schools and colleges could save thousands each year by switching to eco hand dryers
S
aving money is high priority for educational institutes dealing with stretched budgets and
increased costs as a fall out from the pandemic. And with many schools, colleges and universities more conscious of their eco credentials, there’s a sustainability agenda that school leadership teams are also striving to meet. Leading hand-dryer manufacturing firm, Airdri
believes that a simple swap could be key to cutting costs and improving sustainability within a school or college. Installing eco hand dryers could save venues thousands of pounds
annually in energy bills or paper towel refills. The brand has created an online cost calculator that shows the
comparative saving for educational venues switching from paper towels to eco hand dryers at

Airdri’s Eco Hand Dryer Range The brand’s Eco Range is comprised of three different hand dryers; the Quantum, the Quazar and the Quest, all of which use less than 1,000 watts, the industry minimum for a dryer to be considered "green".
Choosing an eco-friendly hand dryer Here Steve Whittall Group Research and Development Director at Airdri shares tips on choosing an eco hand dryer. “When looking into eco hand dryers, it’s important to note that
there are several factors that contribute to making a hand dryer eco- friendly.”
Exceptional Energy Efficiency “It takes very little energy to dry one pair of hands. However, in public

buildings where washrooms are used on a daily basis for eight, twelve or more hours, these energy usages can mount up to a substantial expense. Therefore, exceptional energy efficiency is paramount to ensuring an ecologically friendly dryer. At Airdri, our bespoke motors help achieve best-in-class energy efficiency, requiring only 200 watts of power to operate.”
Low Running Costs Steve continued: “Cutting unnecessary expenditure
can be an incredibly important factor to consider when installing equipment in hospitality venues so making sure you’re choosing a hand dryer which is low running in terms of costs can help to save you a lot of money in the long run. We’ve taken this into account whilst putting together our eco-friendly range, that’s why our eco models start from just £7 a year to run.”
Environmentally Friendly “When put against alternative options, such as paper towels, hand dryers generally come up as the eco-friendly choice since they save thousands of paper towels from going to landfill. At the cost, lifespan, and efficiency of the hand dryers in our Eco Range, these hand dryers are the “greenest” options available on the market.”
Long Life Span S
teve ended: “Breakdowns and faulty mechanisms are the last things you want to be dealing with when you’re investing in a hand dryer.
Our hand dryer range has a reputation for reliability, the Quantum in our Eco Range was tested to 10,000 hours.”
