Brigg, North Lincolnshire – Blended Products is proud to announce that its Anaerobic Digestion Carbon Dioxide – VeCO₂, has been officially certified as vegan by the Vegetarian Society. This milestone marks VeCO₂ as the first-ever carbon dioxide product to receive the prestigious Vegan accreditation from the Vegetarian Society.

Partnering with a UK-based AD plant, Blended Products VeCO₂ is made from plant-based matter. This sustainable technology is not only an eco-friendly alternative to traditional carbon dioxide sources, but it is also the first-ever carbon dioxide product to be recognised by the Vegetarian Society as fully vegan certified.

VeCO₂ enables businesses to operate more sustainably by providing an ethical, plant-based CO₂ alternative that supports both environmental and operational goals.”

In collaboration with a dedicated working group of leading experts from the biogas and carbon capture sectors, Blended Products has been actively driving progress in these fields. Partnering with a UK-based AD plant, the company has developed this innovative product.  “VeCO2 enables businesses to operate more sustainability by providing an ethical, plant-based CO2 alternative that supports both environmental and operational goals” said Caroline Hunter, Head of Commercial at Blended Products Ltd. “By opting for VeCO₂, businesses can lessen their dependence on fossil fuel-derived CO₂ and support a more sustainable future.”
