Businesses across the economy are feeling the squeeze of rapidly rising prices – while also racing to reduce their carbon footprint. (1) Could Dyson Airblade™ hand drying technology help tackle both challenges at once? The simple answer is yes.
The Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer is significantly more sustainable and cheaper than paper towels. It’s one of the simplest ways you can reduce paper and energy waste – and save money.
Firstly, it creates no waste. Secondly, it produces up to 88% less CO2 than paper towels (5) and uses only a sixth of the energy of conventional dryers. And thirdly, it’s cheaper to run. In fact, it’s our most cost and energy-efficient hand dryer to date.
What’s more, it’s certified by the Carbon Trust, BREEAM, WELL Building Standard, LEED and Quiet Mark.

Our homes are packed full of technology and appliances, but many of them create noise (unwanted sound) that permeates our homes. World Health Organisation research has shown that noise pollution can affect mental and physical health. With more of us spending more time at home, it’s an issue that will only get worse.
It’s a mission that has seen growing support in recent years, particularly with more of us working at home as a result of the pandemic and being subjected to just how intrusive our home appliances are, from vacuum cleaners to fridge freezers.
