80% new houses are equipped with food waste processors

In the traditional ways to clean up garbage, kitchen garbage and usually Other Waste, such as waste paper, plastic bags are mixed together, every day was thrown into a dumpster, then by sanitation workers poured into the garbage truck, transported to the outskirts of waste incineration or landfill. In the United States, about about 19000000 tons of food waste from homes, restaurants and units are transported to landfills every year in the United states. It is reported that when food waste is decomposed, methane is produced. Methane gets at least 21 times as much heat in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. It is a very harmful greenhouse gas. Some landfills are trying to collect methane, but experts say the practice is difficult and expensive. In addition, decomposing food waste mixes with other elements in landfills to produce leachate, which may contaminate groundwater supplies. On the other hand, treating food waste through composting can be a good environmental solution, but not for many families living in crowded urban settings, apartment buildings, or cold areas.

Food waste processor, to bid farewell to the traditional kitchen garbage disposal methods of waste collection and transportation, which is the family, the sewage treatment plant, the benefit of farmland and power plants are brought new environmental protection and renewable energy utilization method.

The food waste processor is usually arranged at the mouth of the kitchen sink of the household kitchen, and the upper end is connected with the water tank opening, and the lower end is directly connected with the sewer. Just turn on the tap water press release, air switch, sink the motor starting, can turnips vegetables tail, leftovers and other food kitchen waste into the tank mouth, and then into the grinding chamber. Driven by the centrifugal force produced by the rapid rotation of the motor, the turntable in the grinding chamber begins to rotate, grinding it into fine particles, and then flowing directly into the sewer by the water. Today, food waste processors are well known in the United States, and 80% of new homes are equipped with food waste processors.

In Milwaukee City, Wisconsin, United States government, called for more people will fall into the food waste food waste processor, so as to help the Milwaukee City Pipeline Bureau will be more residents in the food waste into electricity energy.

Turning waste into power raw materials saves millions of dollars annually

Due to the high water content of kitchen waste, so the food waste processor processing is the most economical way, compared to incineration or landfill, transportation, processing and save a lot of manpower cost, "kitchen waste with high water content, if you enter the incinerator, combustion is not sufficient because may produce dioxin, while in the landfill. Not only will occupy a lot of land, the leachate may pollute the groundwater. Treatment of food waste through sewage treatment plants is one of the more efficient ways. At the same time, the food waste processor consumes only 1% or less of the total water and water costs of a household, while the average annual electricity consumption is less than 10 yuan.
