Alright, this betrays my age, but what the Heck is that thing? Some sort of communal bathroom towel in public restrooms?
Ha ha, you young whippersnappers crack me up. The way that works is that the cloth towel is on a roll. To dry your hands, you pull down on the towel, and new clean portion emerges from the top. Then you dry with it. The dirty, used part gets retracted up into the back. I remember them... well, I won't say "fondly", but I do remember them. If nothing else they did not generate any waste.

Back in the day, there used to be cloth towels in a large loop in a device on the wall as seen above. The idea was that the loop was long enough and it would go through a "sanitation" process that it was OK. You'd walk up after washing your hands, pull down on the towel to access a new section and dry your hands. Turns out the sanitation process was non-existent and the loop was just a few feet rather than dozen of feet it should have been. It'd dry your hands....maybe...and more than likely deposit many, many strains of whatever was common in that area.

To be fair I did use many of these where the new "clean" towel portions really did *look* clean, for what it's worth (maybe not much...)
