Ekofuel has removed the plastic pouring nozzle inserts from our 1-litre bioethanol fuel bottles to reduce single-use plastics and minimise environmental impact. Small plastics can easily pollute natural environments, breaking down into harmful microplastics. Our bottles and caps are now 100% recyclable, further supporting our commitment to sustainability.

In a recent development, eBay took action, likely prompted by Royal Mail, by removing the majority of bioethanol fuel listings on July 23. Consequently, eBay instituted a new requirement for bioethanol fuel sellers to demonstrate that their chosen courier permits the shipment of "Limited Quantity" (LQ) dangerous goods.

In November 2015, Ekofuel made the difficult decision to withdraw its 5-liter bio ethanol fuel product from sale due to delivery courier restrictions. At that time, 5-liter containers of bioethanol fuel were reclassified as dangerous goods, posing challenges for shipping and incurring additional costs. While many companies transitioned to the 1-liter container, some continued to offer 5-liter bioethanol fuel containers. Recognizing this growing segment of the bio ethanol fuel market, Ekofuel has decided to reintroduce its 5-liter container in the autumn of 2023.
