London Eye puts Taps on the Thames. Dyson Airblade™ hygienic hand dryers in action
Channel: Dyson

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers are up to 98% less expensive than single-use paper towels, with up to 79% less CO₂ emissions.¹ 

If every visitor to the iconic London Eye in a single year used just two papers towels, the waste paper towel stack would be 27 times the height of the London Eye. An eye watering amount of waste.

The London Eye wanted a sustainable, hygienic solution for their washroom environment, capable of dealing with high footfall and drying hands fast. Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryers were the optimum solution.

The Dyson Airblade™ Tap hand dryer washes and dries hands with no need to leave the sink. Using an energy efficient Dyson digital motor spinning at 90,000rpm, it literally scrapes water from hands in just 12 seconds. There's no need to touch a thing - it uses integrated infrared sensors.
