How to Find the Best Priced Hand Towels

All dental teams have been there. You offer a patient a hand towel and they take enough for the whole waiting room. And then there is the bathroom towel dispenser, full one morning and bare the next. Dental practices get through a lot of paper towels. This won’t change anytime soon. What can change is how much you spend on towels and the environmental impact they have. Switching to DEHP recycled hand towels can both help save your practice money and lower your carbon footprint.

The sheer number of hand towels practices dispose of annually means several restocks a year are often required and costs can quickly mount up. Kent Express’ two most popular hand towel brands are currently DEHP and Nationwide, both of which are trusted by hundreds of dentists across the UK.

Here are how the two compare on price:

  • DEHP C-Fold Recycled Hand Towels 2304pk (25x33cm) = £30.99 or £1.34 per 100 towels (regular price)
  • Nationwide C-Fold Paper Hand Towels 2400pk (40x38cm) = £45.99 or £1.91 per 100 towels
  • Price Difference = DEHP Hand Towels are £0.57 cheaper per 100 towels at regular price

Switching to DEHP recycled hand towels from Nationwide C-Fold 2-Ply Paper Towels would save you over £10 every time you buy and over £100 after 10 restocks.*

Environmental Impact

Paper towels are used for a variety of purposes in a dental practice. This includes for patients to dry their hands and wipe their mouths, and for the dental team to wipe wet areas and mop up spills. The more paper towels we order, the more trees that need cutting down. Choosing recycled towels that are made from recycled materials and renewable resources over paper towels can ease the world’s reliance on tree wood. Using recycled paper saves energy and produces fewer emissions than paper towels as they are easier to process into new products.

What else is important to consider

Other important factors to consider include towel design and ply.
