Biopropane: A Cleaner, Easy-to-Adopt Energy for Your Shrink Wrapping Operations
Reducing your environmental impact without changing your working habits is now possible, thanks to biopropane from Shrink Wrapping Express. This next-generation gas is 100% renewable, high-performing, and fully compatible with your existing equipment, making it a smart and sustainable alternative to conventional propane. Here’s why more and more shrink-wrapping professionals are making the switch to biopropane.
What exactly is biopropane?
Biopropane is a gas derived from biomass, produced using renewable raw materials such as:
- Vegetable oils (rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, palm)
- Used cooking oils
- Animal fats (tallow)
- Acid residues from oil processing
The result? A low-impact gas with identical properties and performance to fossil propane. Because it shares the same molecular structure, it is fully compatible with your existing gas installations.
How is biopropane produced?
Biopropane is made in biofuel refineries through a process called Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) treatment. This is the same method used to produce renewable fuels for aviation and road transport.
Once refined, biopropane is stored and distributed in the exact same way as conventional propane—no need to modify your supply chain.
Why switch to biopropane?
* Up to 78% less CO2?
Biopropane significantly reduces carbon emissions, generating just 60 g CO2/kWh, which is up to 78% less CO2 than traditional propane. It’s a smart step towards decarbonising your operations with zero hassle.
* Same performance, same setup
Enjoy identical energy efficiency, with no need to modify your tools or gas network. All Express Shrink Wrapping equipment, including older models, is fully compatible with biopropane.
* Cleaner combustion
Biopropane releases very few fine particles, improving air quality around workstations and helping to protect operator health.
