The Dyson Airblade Hand Dryer Can Help Oklahoma Businesses Decrease Expenses and Go Green
July 6th, 2010Oklahoma City, Okla.- As Oklahoma businesses strive to become more green, quite a few businesses are presented with increasing expenses associated with green technologies. And in a down economy, many companies cannot make such changes.
One new bit of technology that appears to be an exception to the rule, however, is the Dyson Airblade(TM) hand dryer, and it is helping businesses reduce expenses in a place that is frequently unnoticed: paper towel expenses.
According to Blaine Pinard, sales director for Direct Seed Distribution, LLC, businesses that install the new Dyson Airblade(TM), as opposed to paper towels or standard warm-air hand dryers, see both short-term and long-term costs savings.
“The Dyson Airblade can dry the hands of 22 people for the cost of only one paper towel, and it uses 80 percent less energy than regular warm-air hand dryers,” said Pinard. “Business owners get a rare opportunity to save dollars on paper towels and help build a more ecological environment as paper towels create approximately 1.1 million tons of landfill waste annually.”
One popular Oklahoma restaurant has already been seeing good results from their newly installed Dyson Airblades(TM). Dick Stubbs, the owner of the nationally known Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, said he expects to save up to $6200 in paper towel expenses this year alone from installing seven Airblade(TM) units.
“You don’t think about how much paper towel waste a single bathroom creates in a day until you look at the numbers,” Stubbs said. “When you do, it’s baffling. I can’t imagine how much landfill it contributes to.”
Another well-known Oklahoma company realizing benefits from the Airblade(TM) is Crest Foods. Jeff Fulks, general manager for Crest Foods, said the Airblade(TM) helps keep bathrooms cleaner.
“We don’t have paper towels strung across the floors,” Fulks said. “We’re just not having to deal with the mess.”
Equipped with a HEPA filter that gets rid of 99.9 percent of germs in the air, the Dyson Airblade(TM) is the only certified sanitary hand dryer in the united states and is well suited for businesses that must comply with health department regulations. The Airblade(TM) can dry one person’s hands in about 12 seconds which means it is ideal for all sorts of companies including high trafficked ones including hospitals, airports, stadiums as well as other high volume public restrooms.
