Safe and Approved by Regulators
Dry ice blasting has received approval from several key regulatory bodies:
Industrial Cleaning with Recycled Co2
The circular carbon economy aims to capture carbon emissions and use them again, rather than letting them pollute the air. Companies like Carbon Engineering are leading the way by developing technology to capture CO2 from the air for reuse. This approach paves the way for using recycled CO2 in various industries.
CO2 blast cleaning uses recycled carbon dioxide collected from industrial emissions or directly from the air. Instead of letting this CO2 escape into the atmosphere, it’s captured and saved. The captured CO2 is cooled and compressed until it becomes a liquid where it is then processed into solid dry ice pellets.
By recycling CO2, we reduce the amount released into the atmosphere, helping lower greenhouse gas emissions and aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints. Dry Ice blasting aligns well with the sustainability goals of many industries, helps meet environmental regulations and boosts a company’s efforts towards corporate social responsibility. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that leave behind waste or use harmful chemicals, dry ice blasting with recycled CO2 is a clean and safe alternative.

At CO2Blast, safety is our top priority in dry ice blasting. Our team follows strict safety protocols, uses high-quality protective gear, and conducts thorough risk assessments to ensure a secure and incident-free cleaning process.
