Study in favour of touchless paper towel dispensers

An overwhelming majority of people (79 percent) prefer touchless towel dispensers to air dryers(1) according to the "Washroom Product Study," developed by Georgia-Pacific Professional, and conducted by Housekeeping Solutions magazine. Additionally, research compiled by the European Tissue Symposium, an international trade organization in which Georgia-Pacific Professional is a member, revealed that paper towels can reduce up to 77 percent of bacteria present on hands after washing(2).

These two studies support Georgia-Pacific Professional's commitment to providing hygienic product solutions that create safer away-from-home washroom experiences for users and facility employees.

"We commissioned this study to understand what makes users feel comfortable when visiting washrooms while away from home," says Alex Volpe, director - towel category for Georgia-Pacific Professional. "The results reinforce our company's ongoing philosophy that washroom guests, as well as the facility professionals, seek out clean and hygienic environments."
