'Dyson Airblade™ most environmentally responsible way to dry hands'
A leading Massachusetts-based research university study has proven that the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is the most sustainable way to completely dry hands. Paper towels and warm air hand dryers have the highest environmental toll according to this comprehensive lifecycle analysis (LCA), generating 70% or more carbon emissions than the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. Rather than warm air, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer uses sheets of cool, cleaned air to literally scrape water from hands.
Carbon Trust certifies Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. First hand dryer awarded for committing to reduce carbon emissions.
The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is the first hand dryer to be awarded the Carbon Reduction Label from the Carbon Trust.
To secure the Carbon Reduction Label, the machine’s total carbon footprint – the amount of carbon emissions (CO2 and other greenhouse gases) produced from its materials and manufacture, transport, in-use and end of life – were measured and certified by the Carbon Trust. As part of the certification, Dyson has committed to reducing the Airblade™ hand dryer’s carbon emissions further in the next two years.
The footprinting process revealed that the Dyson Airblade™ AB04 - hand dryer emits 550 kg/ CO2e total emissions during its lifetime or 1.5 g/CO2e per dry1. Each dry is equal to the carbon emissions created by watching just less than 3 minutes of television.2
