Extol's Marty Esau with some of the Trade N Go cylinders.
A Whanganui engineering firm has partnered with a gas supplier to provide returnable gas cylinders for small-scale users.
Extol Mastercraft Engineering in Mosston Rd was in partnership with SuperGas for five years, owner Geoff Bonner said.
"CoreGas bought SuperGas last year and has invested in new gas bottles and equipment
and brought the system over from Australia," Bonner said.
"With the new Trade N Go system, you pay a deposit on the bottle and pay for the gas. It's good for people who don't need a high volume of gas but still have a use for it."
The Trade N Go system does not require users to buy the cylinder or pay a monthly rental for the gas bottle. Other systems have required a monthly rental on the bottle, regardless of how much gas was used and how long the bottle lasted.
