The InSinkErator M Series 66, for example, benefits from a Dura-Drive induction motor to tackle the most difficult-to-grind foods, and it comes with an easy clean, removable sound baffle. It also features Quick Lock mounting assembly for faster, easier installation for any consumer to take home and fit. And staying at the kitchen sink, have your customers ever considered how a different tap could help save energy and water? This is at the core of what Quooker does, and there are various reasons why a Quooker boiling water tap could be a greener choice for the home…
And the kitchen sink Circling back to the topic of food waste, retailers are starting to witness an increase in enquiries for alternative food waste solutions for the home, as smelly scraps can accumulate in the kitchen day after day.
An InSinkErator food waste disposer could help
with this. Fitted neatly under the kitchen sink, it grinds the discarded items into small particles that can be flushed away for processing at the local wastewater plant. By reducing waste to landfill sites it helps to reduce greenhouse gases and the household’s carbon footprint. In addition, and where there is an anaerobic digester, within the sewerage system, the nutrients from the food waste can be recovered and turned into biogas and fertiliser, to complete the circular economy!
One of the main benefits is that it will save water. The tap will only deliver the exact amount of water required, whether it’s for a large pot of pasta or a single cup of tea. Using a kettle usually means boiling more water than is needed.
And compared to energy-guzzling kettles, Quooker taps use very little electricity thanks to their advanced technology – it takes only 10 watts to keep water in the tank at 110 degrees, while the average kettle uses 2,200 watts to boil 1.7 litres of water! Lastly, there’s the CUBE accessory for Quooker taps – users can get filtered chilled and sparkling water as well as the standard boiling, hot and cold water, meaning no more plastic water bottles at home.
Says Stephen Johnson, Quooker Managing Director UK: “With the average UK household using a staggering 360 single-use plastic bottles per year, the CUBE offers a far more sustainable solution! And if consumers are worried about disposing of the CO2 cylinders, fear not – these can be simply returned to Quooker and re-filled after use, making sure no products end up in landfill.”>>
