EAST LONGMEADOW, MA, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Excel Dryer, Inc. highlights new global research reinforcing the need for cleaner, touchless restroom solutions and the role of the D|13 Group’s D|Verse Integrated Sink System featuring the XLERATORsync® Hand Dryer with electrostatic HEPA (eHEPA®) filtration.

A global survey conducted by MetrixLab found cleanliness and hygiene remain the top concern in public restrooms. All respondents agreed that a dirty restroom reflects poorly on an establishment. Survey participants identified paper towel mess as the leading contributor to an unclean environment.

Integrated sink systems address these concerns by combining hand washing and drying in one fixture. This approach reduces touchpoints, eliminates paper towel waste and helps keep floors dry.

“Commercial restrooms play an important role in how customers view a facility,” said William Gagnon, Executive Vice President and COO of Excel Dryer. “The D|Verse Integrated Sink System featuring XLERATORsync improves convenience, supports sustainability goals and delivers a better overall experience.”

Building Design + Construction (BD+C) Magazine named the D|Verse system a Top 75 Building Product Award winner, recognizing it as a leading solution for architects and facility managers.

The system also earned Sustainability Product of the Year from the Business Intelligence Group (BIG). XLERATORsync helps facilities reduce their carbon footprint by up to 81% compared to paper towels. Additional recognition came from the SEAL Awards for measurable sustainability impact.

Design honors include awards from the A’ Design Awards and interiors & sources (i&s) Magazine for innovation, customization and high-performance commercial restroom solutions.

The D|13 Sink System featuring XLERATORsync with eHEPA filtration was also recognized at the Architizer A+ Awards by popular vote in the Smart Design & Technology category.
