Earth Day & the XLERATOReco Hand Dryer


Each year, Earth Day serves as a reminder that everyday decisions, especially in high-traffic industries like hospitality, can have a meaningful impact on the planet. Hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and travel destinations serve thousands of guests daily, and the choices they make in their facilities directly influence waste generation, energy use, and overall environmental footprint. By prioritizing sustainable solutions, hospitality leaders can reduce operational costs while demonstrating a visible commitment to environmental stewardship.

The XLERATOReco® hand dryer from Excel Dryer was designed with that responsibility in mind. Engineered for energy efficiency and high performance, the XLERATOReco uses significantly less electricity than conventional hand dryers while eliminating the need for paper towels—one of the largest sources of restroom waste in commercial facilities. By removing the constant cycle of paper production, transportation, storage, and disposal, businesses can dramatically reduce both their carbon footprint and their contributions to landfill waste.

For hospitality businesses striving to meet sustainability goals or green building standards, small infrastructure choices, such as restroom equipment, can deliver measurable environmental benefits. A single high-efficiency hand dryer can help prevent thousands of pounds of paper waste over its lifetime while also reducing maintenance time and costs associated with refilling dispensers and managing trash.

Sustainability is no longer just an operational consideration—it is part of the guest experience. Today’s travelers increasingly value brands that demonstrate environmental responsibility. By implementing solutions like the XLERATOReco, hospitality operators can align their facilities with the spirit of Earth Day year-round, proving that smart, sustainable decisions benefit both the planet and the bottom line.
