Last week, Edge Electronics' MRO and Industrial Supplies team introduced a new sustainable solution at a CUNY campus: the Rubbermaid AutoFoam Soap Dispenser with Lumecel technology.

As a Certified Women-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) serving government facilities and entities throughout New York State and New York City, we're proud to bring this innovative bathroom soap dispenser to our educational partners.

The system features a revolutionary rechargeable energy system that transforms light into power, eliminating the need for disposable batteries while saving time and money for our customers.

 

Touch-Free Technology Meets Sustainability

1-1

At Edge, we understand the unique challenges facing our government customers. The Rubbermaid AutoFoam Dispenser is an important advancement in campus hygiene infrastructure that we're excited to provide.

With touch-free operation, the dispenser significantly reduces the spread of germs in high-traffic environments where hand hygiene is crucial.

What makes this solution remarkable is the Lumecel technology. This innovative system uses a rechargeable energy cell powered by indoor or natural light, completely eliminating the need for alkaline batteries and eliminates the potential for down time.

This technology not only reduces ongoing maintenance costs for our customers but also aligns perfectly with the sustainability initiatives we support through our product offerings by minimizing battery waste.

 

Benefits We Deliver to Campus Facilities

As a value-added MRO and Industrial Supplies reseller, Edge delivers many benefits to campus facilities with these dispensers:

  • High Capacity: Each dispenser holds up to 1100 ml of soap and provides approximately 2,750 doses per refill, making it extremely efficient for our large-scale campus clients.
  • Cost-Effective: By eliminating battery replacements, the dispensers offer significant long-term cost savings for campus facilities management, a key consideration for our government partners.
  • Reduced Maintenance Requirements: The battery-free operation means fewer maintenance checks, allowing facilities staff to allocate their time to other important tasks across campus.
  • Enhanced Security: The lockable design prevents theft or vandalism, an important consideration we address for our public campus clients.
  • Accessibility: The dispensers are ADA compliant for one-handed operation, ensuring they meet accessibility requirements for all campus community members.

 

Environmental Impact Through Edge's Solutions

The environmental benefits of this installation align perfectly with the sustainable product offerings Edge brings to our government customers:

  • The solar-powered technology reduces dependency on disposable batteries, directly decreasing battery waste in campus operations.
  • By harnessing renewable energy, these dispensers represent a small but meaningful step toward the more environmentally responsible campus facilities we help our customers achieve.
