INSINKERATOR® FOOD WASTE DISPOSERS – A VALUABLE, SUSTAINABLE, ADD-ON TO OUTDOOR KITCHENS
With outdoor kitchens soaring in popularity, it is important to get your customer to consider sustainability when extending their living space into the garden. One of the main reasons for creating an outdoor kitchen is for entertaining family and friends, which often results in inedible food waste. An InSinkErator® food waste disposer is a must have eco-appliance for a garden kitchen. Barbequing and cooking from scratch becomes instantly more sustainable and hygienic, when one is installed, as inedible food scraps can be disposed of within seconds.
Despite a consumer’s best efforts, when creating home-cooked meals, a proportion of food waste is inevitable. When preparing food outdoors, bones from barbecued meat and peelings from fruit and vegetables are usually the most common types of inedible food waste. A food waste disposer is a safe, simple and sustainable solution to this problem, diverting food waste from landfill, especially where home composting is not possible.
We are the global leader and inventor of food waste disposers, and we manufacture a wide variety of models, designed to suit different family sizes and home cooking needs. They fit easily under all types of sinks and can be installed in both indoor and outdoor kitchens. Food waste is ground into minute sized particles, thanks to the innovative system of stainless steel grinding rings. It is then dispatched and simply rinsed away down the drain, through the standard plumbing. Furthermore, with the government announcing that by 2023, every UK household will receive separate weekly food waste collections1, there has never been a better time to specify a food waste disposer when designing a new kitchen, whether that’s indoors or outside.
If you are looking for ways to demonstrate the benefits of an InSinkErator® food waste disposer to your customers, David Flatman, famous sports pundit and former England rugby player, says he “wouldn’t be without one” and recently shared a video on how he uses it in his garden kitchen area. Speaking of the benefits of an InSinkErator® food waste disposer, David says: “Turn the water on so there is water running through it… press the little switch and stick all of your food waste in, eggshells, vegetables, all sorts of stuff.” David continues: “It all goes away, straight down your [waste] pipes/standard plumbing… you don’t need a horrible food waste bin, it all goes in there, meat, bones, everything.”
Anne Kaarlela, Marketing Communications and Customer Service Manager, Europe, says:
“Not only do InSinkErator® food waste disposers reduce the amount of food waste going to landfill sites, but by doing this, they also help to decrease greenhouse gases and the household’s carbon footprint. In addition, and where there is an anaerobic digester within the sewerage system, the nutrients from the food waste can be recovered and turned into biogas and fertiliser, completing the cyclic economy.
Our food waste disposer is a valuable addition to both the home and garden kitchens. They can eliminate the need for separate food waste bins and remove any unwelcome interruptions from stale and gone-off food odours. With the warmer weather and barbecue season fast approaching, why not recommend an food waste disposer to customers designing a new indoor or outdoor kitchen this summer?”
