A common misconception is that a food waste disposer works similar to a standard bin or composting unit. However, the reality is far different.
An InSinkErator food waste disposer breaks food waste down into very fine particles, almost liquifying them so that they can be flushed through your plumbing.
Once food waste is flushed through your plumbing, it goes to wastewater treatment where it can yield valuable biogas and fertiliser for agriculture.
