The Hygiene Argument: Are Paper Towels More Sanitary?
Why It Matters:
Drying hands properly is just as important as washing them. According to a study in the Journal of Hospital Infection, paper towels physically remove bacteria and viruses from the skin, while air dryers may actually spread them around the room.

Sustainability can feel like a big, overwhelming task—especially when you're running a busy business and just trying to keep the bins emptied and the coffee flowing. But here's the good news: making real, measurable progress toward your sustainability goals doesn’t require a total overhaul. It’s often the small, consistent changes—like swapping your bin liners or choosing better paper towels—that add up to big wins over time. Whether you're a café, office, or warehouse, the steps you take today can have a lasting impact tomorrow (and your customers will love you for it).

In today’s workplace, maintaining hygiene and complying with health standards is more critical than ever. While the focus often lies on hand hygiene and surface cleanliness, sanitary bins for office environments are just as essential. Traditionally serviced by external contractors, these bins are now evolving into a self-service model—a game-changer for businesses seeking to reduce costs, increase control, and enhance hygiene.

This comprehensive guide explores why self-service sanitary bins are the ideal choice for New Zealand workplaces and how they meet both legal and ethical standards.
