So what’s the case for choosing a paper towel dispenser in a commercial application, and can such a dispenser work in a green restroom?
Perhaps the number one reason for choosing a paper towel hand drying system is hygiene. According to a study published by the Mayo Clinic, the evidence suggests that paper towels are the most effective drying method for the removal of bacteria. It is for that reason that paper towels are recommended for use in hospitals and clinics. Beyond hygiene, paper towels remain very versatile. Perhaps it’s spaghetti sauce from a lunch, or spilled water at your desk, paper towels are used for more than just hand drying. They are an all-purpose, team-player.
The paper towel dispensers themselves are available in numerous styles. An excellent resource for the variety within this product category is located above, using Sustainable Supply’s convenient navigation options.
