Adblue and the environment

73 Posts

So i now have a large new van that needs a 10 litre plastic container full of adblue around every 1000 miles (around every 3 weeks). I know cars due much better than this.
But what is the environmental benefit of throwing a large plastic container in the waste every few weeks?
Am i missing something here? Is there a genuine reason why fuel stations cant hold a large container of adblue and either sell it per litre (like fuel) or sell re-fillable containers?

Clearly there is no environmental benefit, but then again there is unlikely to be any environmental benefit from driving a diesel van around either.
As above a few stations do have adblue dispensers, but probably for most it is not worth the cost ( most diesel cars will maybe use 5 to 10 litres per year) and diesels are on their way out slowly.
Will be somewhere near you that has one.
The plastic container can be recycled and as others have said many petrol stations are now starting to dispense AdBlue from a pump.
