InSinkErator, the inventor and largest manufacturer of food waste disposers for home and commercial use, has been awarded by the UAE Ministry of Energy for the second year running, for its contribution to the UAE State of Energy Report.

The award was presented during the release of the third edition of the report by Suhail Mohamed Faraj Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy, on the sidelines of the World Future Energy Summit held recently in Abu Dhabi, UAE, said a statement from InSinkErator, a business unit of Emerson.

On receiving the award, Mohamed Karam, senior business development manager, InSinkErator, Middle East and Africa, said: “This recognition is a testament of our innovation that directly contributes to targets set by the UAE Government of diverting waste from landfills by 75 per cent by 2021.”

“However, the UAE continues to have one of the largest rates of food wastage per capita. If we manage to reduce the amount of food wastage, we can reduce the waste reaching landfills,” he said.

“Food waste compounds release rather large quantities of methane gas that lead to an increase in greenhouse emissions. This waste can safely be converted to clean energy using the right technology and processes,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
