Vegan-Certified Carbon Dioxide

UK-based speciality chemicals and gases company Blended Products introduced VeCO2, the first-ever carbon dioxide product to receive vegan certification from the Vegetarian Society. This alternative to traditional CO₂ sources is produced using plant-based materials instead of fossil fuels, and certification from the Vegetarian Society ensures that VeCO2 is entirely free from animal-derived inputs, making it ideal for industries and consumers committed to ethical and cruelty-free practices. VeCO2 has applications across different sectors, especially food and beverage processing. “VeCO2 enables businesses to operate more sustainably by providing an ethical, plant-based CO₂ alternative that supports both environmental and operational goals," said Caroline Hunter, Head of Commercial at Blended Products, “By choosing VeCO2, businesses can reduce reliance on fossil fuel-derived CO₂ and contribute to a greener future."
