1 Reduces Global Warming Potential
Wastewater treatment plants can convert disposal waste into renewable energy and beneficial fertilizer. No matter where you live, using a garbage disposal in conjunction with wastewater treatment will lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) by at least 50%. If your community uses an advanced wastewater treatment plant, GWP is lowered by 90%.
2 Works with composting or green bin programs
Using a garbage disposal in conjunction with your composting or green bin program helps divert the maximum amount of food waste from landfills – benefiting your community and slowing the acceleration of climate change.
3 Reduces bacteria and odors in your trash
Some organic food waste will create odors, attract pests, and become a fertile ground for harmful bacteria. Garbage disposals are perfect for processing food waste like meat and fish, cheese and dairy, bread and pasta, and bones.
