FAQ's
 

Is a Tweeny good for the Environment ?

Yes, your water company process the food waste your Tweeny delivers and after treatment the majority is recycled to fertilise farmland and forestry. You are also helping to reduce landfill and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

As the CIWEM* concludes in its policy statement on waste disposers: "Food waste disposers might well be a more convenient and environmentally superior alternative to separate storage and collection"
* Chartered Institution Of Water And Environmental Management- an independent professional body representing over 12,000 managers

Environmental Impact Study of Food Waste Disposers for The County Surveyors’ Society, Herefordshire Council and Worcestershire County Council by Dr Tim Evans BSc MS PhD CChem CEnv FCIWEM MRSC
Synopsis by J Howell-Thomas, Worcestershire County Council
“This study found that food waste disposers provide a convenient and hygienic means for householders to separate kitchen food waste at source; they divert it from municipal solid waste landfill. Importantly, food waste disposers do this using existing infrastructure and, by taking wet putrescible matter out of the solid waste stream, they make management of the dry fractions easier and less expensive and avoid odour issues, which have proved so detrimental to public acceptance of alternate weekly waste collections. There is no reason that food waste disposers should discourage home composting since food waste disposers are not designed to take garden waste and indeed exclusion of cooked kitchen food waste from home composting might encourage home composting.”
