A toilet is the silent ambassador of a business.
It’s condition reflects everything from hygiene standards to professionalism; from how much a company respects its customers and staff to how much you can really trust them.
But to the trained eye – especially an electrician’s – it goes further. The quality of a washroom can show you whether a business is cost-savvy and whether sustainability actually matters to them. Here’s the test: if you spot paper towels, you know the business is flushing away over £1,100 a year. The CO₂ impact is significant too.
We’ve crunched the figures using the ATC Tiger Eco hand dryer, take a look:
Annual Costs
• Paper Towels: £1,248*
• ATC Hand Dryer: £99.22*
Annual CO2 Emissions
• Paper Towels: 786kg*
• ATC Hand Dryer: 67.70kg*
By simply switching to electric hand drying, that’s a £1,148.78 saving per unit and 718kg less CO₂
