wastewater plants use what's called anaerobic digestion to turn the gas generated from food waste into biofuel. Garbage disposals efficiently eliminate waste and dispatch it for environmentally friendly processing. In 2019, methane emissions from municipal solid waste were almost equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from more than 21.6 million passenger vehicles driven for one year. Plus, garbage disposals immediately rid your home of waste, odors, and any critters they might attract.Īccording to the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA), solid waste landfills release harmful gases, composed of roughly 50 percent carbon dioxide and 50 percent methane, a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere-a key contributor to climate change. When food waste is processed at a wastewater plant, it's even more eco-friendly than composting. Disposals grind spoiled meats, corn cobs, fish bones, ice, and all those veggies kids reject, discharging them down the drain to a wastewater plant (unless you have a septic system). They do double duty, meeting the often competing demands of convenience and conservation.
Did you know your trashed dinner scraps end up in a landfill, slowly decaying into greenhouse gas? Garbage disposals solve this concern.
