INSINKERATOR^\u00ae PARTICIPATES IN A ONE OF A KIND SUSTAINABLE HOUSING PROJECT

We\u00a0supplied our food waste disposers to a unique, innovative and sustainable housing development, Oceanhamnen in Helsingborg, Sweden. Consisting of approximately 350 residential apartments and three office buildings, as part of the first stage, Oceanhamnen aims to be an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable urban development. When complete, the development is estimated to boast 1,200 residential apartments and 40,000 square metres of office and hotel space, which will also include shops and local services such as a dentist and GP surgery.

A major aspect of the project is its new and unique sewerage system, which collects waste through three separate wastewater streams. We provided Oceanhamnen residents with an Evolution 100 food waste disposer to direct their food waste to RecoLab, a specially designed wastewater treatment facility, to support a project aim of reducing greenhouse gases in the area by 50 per cent. Not only does collecting food waste in this way reduce greenhouse gas formation in landfill, the nutrients from the food waste can also be recovered and turned into biogas and fertiliser. Furthermore, by installing an InSinkErator^\u00ae food waste disposer into every apartment means that residents of Oceanhamnen don\u2019t have to handle smelly, unhygienic food waste, or have it lingering in their kitchen.

Through an independent survey conducted for NSVA (Nordv\u00e4stra Sk\u00e5nes Vatten och Avlopp/North West Scania Water and Waste Water) with residents of the sustainable housing project, InSinkErator^\u00ae found that nearly all of those questioned (96 per cent) would choose to own a food waste disposer again. Furthermore, 93 per cent would recommend the product to others and 79 per cent are enthusiastic and proud to show visitors their food waste disposer.70 per cent of those surveyed are satisfied with using a food waste disposer, compared to the alternative of collecting waste in paper bags and taking it to the basement of the building.

Hamse Kjerstadius, Development engineer, NSVA, says: \u201cPresent day sewerage systems are not built for recovery, they are built to remove nutrients and they do that very well, however, the systems that we have installed in Oceanhamnen are actually designed to recover products from wastewater.

\u201cThe main advantage is the separation of flows with a high concentration of nutrients and organic matter (food waste and sewage). Once we have separated them, we can apply much better technology at the treatment plant. And that\u2019s the reason why we can increase the nutrient recovery so much.\u201d

Anne Kaarlela, Marketing Communications and Customer Service Manager, Europe, InSinkErator^\u00ae says:\u00a0\u201cWe are thrilled to be part of the Oceanhamnen project, providing residents with a hygienic and sustainable solution to managing their food waste, while also ensuring the food waste generates biogas instead of producing methane in landfill. It\u2019s important to us at InSinkErator^\u00ae to participate and support projects that aim to enhance consumers\u2019 lives through innovative, sustainable developments and we hope that the positive outcomes from the Oceanhamnen project influence and encourage future sustainable housing developments.\u201d

We ^\u00a0currently has a healthy inventory and are committed to keeping our retail partners fully stocked up with their chosen InSinkErator^\u00ae products.
