What is food recycling doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

- Landfilled food waste causes 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
When those leftovers and scraps decompose, they produce methane gas, which is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
- In the United States, 48% of food waste comes from homes.
Recycling food waste is an easy and effective way to reduce your carbon footprint and slow global warming. Every scrap matters!

What can I put in a food recycler to stop it from producing odors?
The FoodCyler's engineering and design schematics maximize the airflow and carbon absorption capability to keep odors at bay, unlike other recyclers that require you to add absorption scraps (such as baking soda, coffee grounds, or citrus peels) to help with odor control. Who would want to keep doing that?
Who can benefit from food recycling?
Every person on Earth benefits from food recycling, including plants! Beyond saving the planet, food recycling benefits anyone who appreciates a clean, odor-free home.
Food recycling is better than leaving trash from stinking up smaller apartments, and it reduces the amount of garbage produced by larger households.
Of course, gardeners love having access to a supply of nutrient-rich soil amendments. Even if you don’t garden, your Foodilizer can benefit your local community. Donate it to a farm or community garden!
Simply put, anyone and everyone can enjoy the benefits of owning a FoodCycler! It’s an effortless lifestyle change that should be the standard everywhere.
