Dyson reduces its manufacturing carbon footprint with the next generation Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

The AB03 Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer shares the same patented technology of the original die-cast aluminium machine but has an outer-casing made from tough, heat resistant polycarbonate-ABS (PC-ABS)* – also found in riot shields, crash helmets and Dyson’s vacuum cleaners.

AB03 is made from sturdy stuff and has been stress tested and abused alongside other plastic hand dryers - it passed everything thrown at it (sometimes literally). Dyson created specialist rigs along with real-life testing at Longleat Safari Park to drag, drop and kick AB03 to test its hard shell.

*PC-ABS produces over 50% less CO2 emissions during production than the aluminum equivalent.
