How Excel Dryer’s Green Hand Dryers Help Reduce Carbon Footprints Versus 100% Recycled Paper Towels in Restrooms
As businesses seek effective ways to reduce their environmental impact, selecting green hand dryers is now a critical step in creating a sustainable restroom choice.
A recent Comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the independent consultancy TrueNorth Collective confirms that Excel hand dryers dramatically outperform paper towels—including 100% recycled varieties—across multiple key environmental metrics.
The study shows Excel hand dryers reduce carbon emissions by up to 94 percent, making them the smarter, greener, and more cost-effective alternative. Their energy-efficient restroom solutions allow businesses to shrink their carbon footprint while maintaining exceptional hygiene and performance.
If your facility is committed to sustainability, upgrading to Excel Dryer is the clear next step.

Life Cycle Assessment: How Excel’s Hand Dryers Drive Serious Carbon Footprint Reduction
Life Cycle Assessment, or LCA, measures the full environmental impact of a product from raw material extraction through to disposal.
When comparing low-impact hand dryers to traditional paper towels, the evidence is undeniable: green hand dryers like Excel’s models are the superior sustainable restroom choice.
Excel hand dryers deliver a powerful set of environmental advantages. They help reduce carbon emissions by up to 94 percent compared to paper towels. They dramatically cut down water usage during production—something paper towels cannot claim. Their energy efficiency ensures that each hand dry uses minimal electricity, without sacrificing performance.
Choosing Excel also eliminates the need for constant landfill waste caused by paper towel disposal, helps minimize smog-producing air pollutants, and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
Make a measurable difference—start with a simple switch to Excel green hand dryers.
The Hidden Environmental Costs of Paper Towels
Although paper towels may feel like the “safe” option, their true environmental cost tells a different story.
Manufacturing paper towels demands large volumes of water for pulping and consumes high levels of energy during production and transport. Worse yet, used paper towels quickly pile up in landfills, accelerating environmental degradation.
Replacing paper towels with eco-friendly restroom equipment like Excel’s hand dryers is one of the easiest and fastest ways businesses can lower waste output, cut energy costs, and demonstrate real commitment to sustainability.
