InSinkErator, said to be the inventor and global market leader of food waste disposers as well as being a major player in the specialist kitchen tap market, has joined the National Merchant Buying Society (NMBS).
An InSinkErator food waste disposer is described as being a sustainable and hygienic food waste solution for the kitchen as, when one is installed, inedible food scraps can be disposed of within seconds. NMBS members will also be able to benefit from InSinkErator’s collection of specialist kitchen taps which are designed to reduce water waste and save energy.
Kevin Carr, the supplier’s UK Sales Director,said: “We are delighted to join the NMBS as a supplier and believe that the group’s members will benefit hugely from our products. Now is the perfect time to consider installing a food waste disposer as the government has announced that by 2023, every UK household will receive separate weekly food waste collections. Having a separate food waste collection can mean smelly food waste accumulates in the kitchen, therefore independent merchants are expected to witness an increase in demand for food waste disposers.
InSinkErator says that food waste disposers divert around 20% of household waste away from landfill and have been shown to have a smaller carbon footprint than kerbside collection. Kevin added: “An InSinkErator model allows food waste to be disposed of instantly, eliminating the need to use an unhygienic food waste caddy, especially where home composting is not possible.”
In 2007, the business launched a brand new product – the Steaming Hot Water Tap – which delivers filtered, steaming hot water on demand and the range also boasts approval from WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme).
Baljit Singh, Trading Manager (Lightside), NMBS added: “At NMBS, it’s our mission to develop and strengthen the businesses of our independent merchants and we strive to increase the profitability of all our members. The addition of InSinkErator to our portfolio of suppliers gives our members access to innovative products, which have eco benefits, at a time when sustainability is high on the agenda for many households.”
NMBS members can easily access InSinkErator products using the OnePlace online B2B ordering and Product Information Management platform.
