Green propellent – a fantastic green step that we are proud of!

Intelligent product development reduces the CO2 emissions by 100 tonnes each year!

VEIDEC continue its work towards a greener future. Reduction of greenhouse gases is an important goal for VEIDEC, and therefore we replacing the propellants propane and DME – which are traditionally produced from oil and gas – to CO2-neutral propellants in all our aerosols.
The propellants, with exactly the same chemical composition, are produced as a by-product in the production of biodiesel, which in turn is produced from sustainable raw materials. In this way, no new CO2 is added, which means a big step forward in the sustainability work.
-The gases create a natural residual product and are collected and used instead of being released into the fresh air. VEIDEC expects the measure to provide annual savings of approx. 100 tonnes carbon dioxide for 2021, says the product manager Johnny Haraldsson.
The shift began last year, and the reduction is about 80 grams of carbon dioxide per aerosol. The products are marked with the label “Green Propellant”.
