Sage Appliances, a global leader in innovative home and kitchen appliances, has announced the UK launch of the groundbreaking FoodCycler (LWR550), a new product which can reduce household food waste by over 80 percent.
The FoodCycler transforms household food waste into nutrient rich EcoChips using an intuitive three stage cycle. The system pulverizes and dehydrates nearly all types of food waste, reducing it to small particles, while simultaneously aerating and heating, which helps decompose and sterilise the waste. The FoodCycler is odourless, quiet, uses minimal energy and is easy to clean, effortlessly fitting into your home and lifestyle while allowing you to do your bit for the environment, hassle free.
With the new FoodCycler, Sage Appliances has truly completed the circular ecosystem of kitchen tech; from delicious espresso, to food prep, cooking, and now food waste disposal. The Sage FoodCycler has a light and sleek appliance that can be used and stored anywhere in the home, not just the kitchen.
David Gubbin, President EMEA Sage Appliances says, “In the UK, we roughly throw away 6.6 million* tons of food waste which is the equivalent of around 66 three-bedroom houses. At Sage, we pride ourselves on brilliant product design that enables home cooks to create perfect food moments, so it’s a natural extension that we close the loop with an accessible and sustainable solution to food waste.”
The FoodCycler can safely transform most fruit and vegetable scraps, meat, fish, shellfish, poultry, chicken and fish bones, cereals, dairy, eggs and shells, coffee grounds, filters and tea bags, beans, seeds and legumes, as well as pet food.
