These include selecting the right dispenser with controlled dispensing, ensuring adequate procurement and quantity of paper towels, choosing the appropriate type of towel, and regularly monitoring consumption. Dispensers that dispense one sheet at a time reduce excessive pulling by up to 30%. The layout of the facility and the type of paper also contribute to overall savings and lower maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn which type of paper towel is most suitable for your commercial facility and which dispenser it is compatible with, read our comprehensive blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/paper-towels-for-commercial-facilities-everything-you-need-to-know-about-types-cost-savings-and-hygiene\/\">Paper towels in commercial facilities: Everything you need to know about types, savings, and hygiene<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_has_the_greatest_impact_on_paper_towel_waste\"><\/span>What has the greatest impact on paper towel waste?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Paper towel waste is primarily affected by the type of dispenser, towel quality, user traffic, replenishment practices, and the habits of employees and visitors. When even one of these factors does not match the facility&#8217;s needs, paper consumption can increase significantly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_paper_towel_waste_occur_in_commercial_facilities\"><\/span>Why does paper towel waste occur in commercial facilities?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Paper towel waste in commercial facilities most commonly occurs because of open holders and dispensers without controlled dispensing. In such cases, users take more sheets than they actually need. Additional causes include insufficient dispenser capacity compared to user traffic and incompatible dispensers. The absence of a mechanism that limits the amount of paper dispensed per use also contributes to unnecessary waste.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_folded_paper_towels_or_roll_paper_towels_better_for_preventing_paper_towel_waste\"><\/span>Are folded paper towels or roll paper towels better for preventing paper towel waste?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Folded paper towels and roll paper towels can both prevent paper towel waste just as effectively when used with the appropriate professional dispenser. Folded paper towels with single-sheet dispensing are often suitable for restrooms with low to medium traffic. In high-traffic facilities, on the other hand, autocut or roll paper towel dispensers that dispense a predetermined paper length are more commonly used.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Table_Compatible_paper_towels_and_dispensers\"><\/span>Table: Compatible paper towels and dispensers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table class=\"luu-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Dispenser<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Paper towel<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/autocut-dispenser\/\">Autocut dispenser<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/autocut-paper-towels\/\">Autocut paper towels<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/proizvodi\/dispenzer-za-ubruse-presovane\/\">Paper towel dispenser<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/folded-paper-towels\/\">Folded paper towels<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/paper-towel-dispenser-large\/\">Paper towel dispenser &#8211; Large<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Folded paper towels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/center-pull-paper-towel-dispenser\/\">Center-pull paper towel dispenser<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/center-pull-paper-towels\/\">Center-pull paper towels<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/duo-dispenser-for-liquid-soap-and-paper-towels\/\">DUO liquid soap and paper towel dispenser<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Folded paper towels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/duo-dispenser-for-foam-soap-and-paper-towels\/\">DUO foam soap and paper towel dispenser<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Folded paper towels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_paper_towel_quality_affect_paper_towel_waste\"><\/span>Does paper towel quality affect paper towel waste?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The quality of <a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/product-category\/paper-products\/paper-towels\/\">paper towels<\/a> directly affects the amount of paper users consume when drying their hands.

They dispense one paper towel or a predetermined paper length with each use. This prevents users from taking more paper than they need. As a result, paper consumption is optimized and commercial facility maintenance costs are reduced.<\/p>\n<p>The most effective models include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/autocut-dispenser\/\">Autocut dispenser<\/a>: automatically cuts approximately 27 cm of paper with each pull. Users receive a predetermined amount of paper, without the possibility of pulling out a longer piece.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/center-pull-paper-towel-dispenser\/\">Center-pull paper towel dispenser<\/a>: allows users to take one paper towel easily with one hand. This is especially practical in production facilities, kitchens, and workshops.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/paper-towel-dispenser\/\">Paper towel dispenser<\/a>: dispenses paper towels one at a time, so the next sheet appears only after the previous one has been removed. This reduces unnecessary paper consumption.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/paper-towel-dispenser-large\/\">Large paper towel dispenser<\/a>: operates on the same single-sheet dispensing principle. Thanks to its larger capacity, it requires less frequent refilling and is suitable for high-traffic restrooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is also confirmed by <a href=\"https:\/\/unifirst.com\/blog\/paper-towel-dispensers-systems-3-points\/\">UniFirst<\/a>. Dispensers with controlled dispensing in commercial facilities significantly reduce waste compared to open-roll systems.

Management noticed increased paper towel consumption and more frequent dispenser refills. The existing dispensers allowed users to pull out more paper than they actually needed. This led to higher purchasing costs, more frequent staff intervention, and a larger amount of paper waste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To reduce paper towel waste, the existing dispensers were replaced with <a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/autocut-dispenser\/\">Autocut dispensers<\/a>. With each pull, these dispensers automatically dispense a pre-cut paper towel approximately 27 cm long. At the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/luu.rs\/en\/products\/autocut-paper-towels\/\">autocut paper towels<\/a>, which are fully compatible with autocut dispensers, were introduced. In addition, the refill schedule was adjusted to actual user traffic to ensure that the dispensers were always available and properly stocked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After six months, paper towel consumption decreased by 32%. The number of emergency refills dropped by 24%, while the time required to refill dispensers was reduced by 21%. Thanks to controlled dispensing, users took only as much paper as they needed. The restrooms remained cleaner, and both procurement and maintenance costs were significantly lower.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_paper_towels_are_enough_for_drying_hands\"><\/span>How many paper towels are enough for drying hands?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It depends on the quality of the paper towels.
