Can a Restroom Save Your Institution Resources and Money? Every educational institution today looks for ways to cut operational costs and save money. However, chances are the public restroom may not be at the top of the list for consideration. What if by making one simple change you could reduce material costs, maintenance and waste by as much as 95%—not to mention reduce your school's carbon footprint? The bottom line. Let's look at the facts: We all know paper towels are expensive and students typically use way more than they need. In a typical university with 30,000 students research shows: = 1.06¢ x per person 39,000 = $414.00 restroom visits per day paper towel cost per day On average, most people use 2.5 sheets of paper towels each time they dry their hands. With an average of 39,000 visits to university restrooms each day, this is an expense of $74,520 a year in paper towels! And that doesn't even consider the hidden costs of managing the supply chain and waste stream. World Dr yer's SMARTdri, SLIMdri and its recently introduced SMARTdri Plus fast-dr ying hand dr yers all feature heat controls for user comfort and dry times up to 3 times faster than traditional dryers.
