Green concerns key to European waste disposer boom
Posted by Sinks on 27th Jun 2017
Environmental concerns have given sink waste disposal units a new lease of life in Europe, according to the Wall Street Journal.With concerns growing in the UK and beyond over the impact of household carbon emissions and food waste, it was claimed that InSinkErator and other waste disposal product manufacturers were now seeing their products take off.Waste disposal units have enjoyed popularity in the US over a longer period despite undergoing a short ban on their usage in New York and have found takers on both environmental and practical grounds.But European sales have taken off as the green movement has gathered wind, it was claimed, allowing InSinkErator to double its world-wide sales over the past decade and bringing top manufacturers such as Franke into the waste disposal market.Joe Ferrara, director of European operations, told the Wall Street Journal We didnt invent disposers to be an environmentally-friendly solution. But they do have all these positive impacts on the environment.A product such as the Model 45 InSinkErator Food Waste Disposer offers users the benefits of its green reputation, as well as its promise to handle most types of food waste, including meat, fish and nuts.
