-

Eco Waste Disposers recently introduced a product which offers a unique solution to Sri Lanka’s garbage problem. The garbage disposers eases the hassle of collecting and disposing food waste in residentia­l and commercial establishm­ents, the company said in a media release.

This unit grinds nearly all types of food waste including chicken bones, egg shells and fruit and vegetable peels. The ground waste passes through your existing pipe systems and its septic tank safe. The units can be used in any type of kitchen and they can be easily fit underneath existing kitchen sinks.

Waste management and collection has been a major concern for many years and this year has seen tragic outcomes arising from this issue. The company said that Colombo accounts for 1,500 mt per day of garbage being collected and Gampaha 600 mt per day, Kalutara 300 mt per day and Kandy 209 mt per day.

“We are happy to introduce waste disposers to Sri Lanka as it will ease the garbage problem we are facing today. We think it’s a timely solution for residentia­l customers and commercial customers alike. We have been fortunate to partner with the world’s number 1 brand Waste King, a company which has been pioneers in this industry for over 70 years in the USA,” said Kishani Kaluarachc­hi, Managing Director, Eco Waste Disposers.

Waste King disposers have a number of key benefits which includes motors which have 50 per cent more RPMs (Speed) and 30 per cent more Torque (Grinding Power) compared to other brands hence taking less time to grind. The units are energy efficient, use less electricit­y and water, make less noise in operation, are environmen­tally safe and septic tank friendly. Its EZ-Mount systems makes installati­on fast and easy and stainless steel grinding components makes it corrosion free and durable.

“With Waste King Garbage Disposers you eliminate the need for collection of your food waste and avoid the odors this waste creates in your home, especially if you’re living in an apartment complex. It will also help you to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to better environmen­t management,” Ms. Kaluarchch­i added.

Waste King commercial units can be used across a wide range of outlets including hotels, restaurant­s, pastry shops, hospitals, cafeterias, schools, snack bars, juice bars and other types of kitchens. The product range varies from 1HP-5HP models which can process waste of 50 to 5,000 meals per hour. A live demonstrat­ion could be seen at Eco Waste Disposers, Wall Art Building, No: 233, Thimbiriga­syaya Road, Colombo 5.
