Each year in the United States, nearly 19 million tons of food waste is trucked to landfills. Once there, it quickly decomposes and produces methane, an environmentally harmful greenhouse gas at least 21 times more potent than CO₂.

While composting provides one approach to tackling America’s food waste management challenge, it isn’t always practical for today’s busy lifestyle.

Durable. Practical. And environmentally responsible. Let InSinkErator® help you put food waste in its proper place.

In today's world, food waste disposers can be considered an environmental appliance—much like EnergyStar-rated refrigerators and laundry machines.
