    Where I live in the UK, food is placed in a compostable bag which are taken away weekly. They turn it into energy. Way better than blending it and putting down the drain.

      Fun fact, burning biomass is not very good as far as emissions go. In the US waste water treatment byproducts are typically methane and fertilizer, both bottled and sold. a much better place for all that carbon, imo.

        It’s not burned. It goes to an Anaerobic Digester which produces electricity, gas and fertiliser.

          Oh, so the same exact thing, except in your case it goes on a car instead of through the pipes.
