In a case study, the P-200 Vertical Compactor from Harmony saved a whopping $5,000 a month for one company. That’s over half a million dollars over the course of nine years.
The unit can also be powered by Harmony’s SunPak Solar Option, increasing the efficiency for an even more eco-conscious waste disposal system.

Other Winning Categories:
VERDEdri®
Where competitors charge for the extras, there are no added costs for standard features such as ADA compliance (no recess kid required), HEPA filter, and an extended life motor that lasts 3x longer than competing models.
Even more, it’s got staying power. VERDEdri is vandal resistant and outlasts the competition.
One ton of paper towel consumes 17 trees, three cubic yards of landfill space and 20,000 gallons of water. Compared to other hand drying methods, hand dryers produce the least amount of carbon emissions.
ZeroDrain
ZeroDrain, the world’s first “pop-down” drain is a groundbreaking bath product that’s measurably easier to install and clean than standard “pop-up” bathroom sink drains.
With standard drains, cleaning requires awkwardly climbing under the sink to detach the stopper every time the drain clogs or the mechanism misaligns. When a standard drain becomes full of gunk and hair buildup, the inevitable clogs often require calls to the plumber.
ZeroDrain’s simple design renders such calls obsolete since you can clean easily clean the drain yourself. Just pull out the stopper, rinse, and reinsert it. ZeroDrain start at $109 in Polished Chrome.
ZeroDrain eliminates the need for the archaic rod-and-clip of the multi-mechanism pop-up drain, which has a myriad of finicky components that require assembly and painstaking adjustments.
It saves time since there is no fiddling with the lift rod when it inevitably sticks or becomes jammed. ZeroDrain works with a one-finger touch, just press and go.
