Commercial Fuel Solutions goes low-carbon
Commercial Fuel Solutions Limited has introduced a new range of AdBlue products which it says offer a reduced environmental impact when compared to other solutions.
The company, which has been supplying the diesel exhaust fluid for more than 15 years, has launched new packaging options and schemes for its range this year, which are said to reduce both the volumes of virgin plastics used and the associated lifetime carbon footprint of packed products.
“Everybody knows that the most carbon-efficient way to purchase AdBlue is to operate a bulk storage tank,” said Robin Futcher, managing director at Commercial Fuel Solutions.
“However, this option requires a significant investment upfront and is not viable for smaller operators who rely on the use of drums and IBCs. So we took it upon ourselves to evaluate options in the market to see both where these products could be improved as well as their associated processes.”
Earlier this year, Commercial Fuel Solutions took the initiative and moved all AdBlue drum products to use a container which is not only fully recyclable but which contains 30 per cent recyclate itself.
This move is said to reduce the carbon impact of each drum supplied by 3.8 kg. By the end of this year, says the firm, as a result of this simple yet effective change, the initiative will have hopefully prevented over four tonnes of CO2e from entering the environment.
In addition to the new lower carbon drums, Commercial Fuel Solutions has amended its IBC supply process to introduce a fair wear and tear policy, whereby it will replace the internal bottle of their customers’ IBCs free of charge once it reaches the end of its life. This process reduces the carbon impact by 97.5 kg/CO2e per container lifecycle, adds the company.
These new packaging options are available immediately from Commercial Fuel Solutions and can be ordered online through the website.
