XLERATOR® Hand Dryers Help Lake Placid Breweries with Sustainability
Debra John — July 18, 2025
Lake Placid Pub & Brewery and Big Slide Brewery & Public House have taken big steps to go green by using 'XLERATOR® Hand Dryers' from Excel Dryer, Inc. These two breweries, known for their eco-friendly practices like using compostable containers and 100% wind-powered energy, wanted to reduce waste in their restrooms too.
By switching to XLERATOR® Hand Dryers with built-in eHEPA® filters, they’ve eliminated the need for paper towels—cutting down on "landfill waste and saving up to 95% in costs." The dryers also help lower the breweries’ carbon footprint by "up to 94%," making them a cleaner, greener option. Additionally, the eHEPA® filters remove almost all viruses and bacteria from the air, keeping restrooms healthier for customers and staff.
This change shows how small updates can make a big impact when it comes to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability.
