Paper+Towels

How many paper towels are wasted in the bathrooms of Danube International School during one day ?

Through this experiment we tried to show, that the amount of wasted paper towels in the school bathrooms is too high and that it has to be reduced. We collected the paper towels at a rate of once per hour. The data was split into different categories which were; used and unused paper towels as well as boy, girl and the elementary bathrooms. We recorded the data 5 times, collecting in all of the boy, girl and elementary bathrooms in the school premises. As we collected the paper towels, we split them into two different plastic bags which were either used or unused. After collecting all of the data, we arranged a table as well as a graph which shows what we have found.

Conclusion After collecting all of the data, we found a clear and easy conclusion to solve the problem of the high wastage of paper towels. The paper towels are easily taken, since there are two baskets where you can simply take them out. This makes it logic, that many of the people who wash their hands, just take as many as they want to, mostly more then they need. Because of that, the outcome is a really high wastage which is not necessary. This problem could be prevented by suspenders which are neither expensive nor too large, so they wouldn't take away too much space. This alternative to the old baskets would help preventing people to take just a hand full, but just as many paper towels as they really need to dry their hands.
