In this article we are going to try to determine which is more eco-friendly out of paper hand towels and electric hand dryers. There are two main factors involved in this comparison. One, carbon emissions produced as a result of delivery lorry driving and electricity usage. And secondly, waste disposal of the various materials.
Currently we seem to be throwing away empty plastic milk bottles on the top floor. Is that the case for everyone? I suggest that we start to recycle these bottles as plastic is probably one of the worst materials to be chucking in the land fill. We’re probably throwing 8 bottles in the bin a week at an estimate? There’s a good chance other businesses are doing the same thing, to a similar scale. So a quick calculation makes that roughly 400 plastic bottles needlessly thrown away a year, just from the top floor. If there are 100 business doing the same thing in our local area thats 40,000 bottles needlessly thrown away every year.
