Since technology has advanced with time, consumers have witnessed a number of significant innovations that make everyday life easier. For Instance, Jet towels have innovated the way we dry our hands. They are efficient, smart, and ease the process of hand drying.
Wet skin possesses a much larger possibility of bacteria transmission as compared to dry skin and therefore, it is extensively important to dry our hands properly for better health and hygiene. The introduction of Jet Towels has uplifted the standards of the healthcare industry to a significant level.
Leading electrical and electronics manufacturer, Mitsubishi Electric provides various solutions to consumers in different segments. Amidst COVID-19, many Mitsubishi Electric products gained popularity. Especially, Jet Towels saw considerable usage in commercial spaces such as shopping malls, restaurants, airports, and corporate set-ups. In 1993, the very first high-speed hand dryer in the world was introduced by Mitsubishi Electric and since then the company has a keen focus on coming up with innovative technological advancements in Jet towel – hand dryers to provide convenience and hygiene to its users.
Jet Towel, as the name suggests is a hand dryer that uses jet blasts of air on a person’s hand to dry them off. Before the arrival of this product, wiping the hands meant using a towel or a tissue, or a traditional hand dryer. But with the advent of Jet Towels, the way we dry our hands after using the restroom has changed for good.
The smart and efficient range of Jet Towels Mitsubishi Electric offer adds a luxurious touch to the public restrooms due to its key features like quiet operation, lesser hand drying time, and sleek design. Since the range of Jet Towels Mitsubishi Electric offers is certified by National Sanitation Foundation, they have become available in the public washrooms of almost every commercial space.
However, few people have been hesitant to use Jet Towels as they believe single-use paper towels are more effective and a better hygienic alternative to dry the hands-off after washing. But many people are opting for Jet Towels due to the various benefits they provide to the environment.
Unlike paper towels, Jet Towels combat mess and are claimed to be a renewable source that promotes sustainability. Listed below are the key advantages of Jet Towels over paper towels:
- Eco-Friendly
We all know the fact that paper is produced from trees and using paper towels constantly burdens the environment even more. Adding to this, the paper towels that produce waste needs to be recycled or harm the environment when burnt; they produce a lot of greenhouse gases.
On the other hand, Jet Towels are a much better choice as they are quite environmentally friendly. There’s no waste generated from daily operation. So, keeping the environmental aspect in mind, using a Jet Towel is a better option.
- Cost Effective
From a long-term perspective, Jet Towels could become more cost-effective as the only running cost one has to pay is for electricity consumption. Mitsubishi Electric offers an exquisite range of Jet Towels that are energy-efficient and save power bills which directly reduces the running cost.
Additionally, the high-speed Jet Towels have a faster drying speed and are more efficient in terms of power consumption. With all these advantages, Jet Towels prove to be the more viable option when compared to traditional Paper Towels.
- Hygienic in nature
Good hygiene is one of the most effective ways to protect people from various bacteria & viruses, especially in the COVID-19 outbreak. Using those traditional paper towels from the same roll in toilets and urinals, the risk of cross-contamination increases manifolds. However, Jet Towel helps to maintain hygiene by offering a completely touch-free operation which reduces this risk. So, one can consider Jet Towel as the best option, keeping hygiene in mind especially in public places.
- No Carbon Footprint
Paper towels tend to increase carbon footprint because they require recurring logistics cost while re-stocking. Furthermore, they also pose a problem at the time of disposal. According to statistics, paper towels, on average, are responsible for about 56g of gas emissions whereas their counterparts are way better with emissions between 9g and 40g.
- Washroom management
Jet Towel is a smart choice that provides ease and comfort by eliminating the requirement of paper dispensers and reordering or storing towels. It also wipes away the worry about overflowing water receptacles, replacement of tissues, and emptying of dustbins over time.
To sum it up, despite the traditional believes of some, Jet Towels are rapidly gaining momentum in India. If we talk about the restroom amenities, high technology innovation is yet to arrive in the coming years to escalate the user experiences and the invention of Jet Towels is a good step towards it.
