Liqui Moly has made its packaging more environmentally friendly, with its bag-in-box packaging system.
Compared to conventional 20-litre plastic canisters, it uses significantly less plastic waste and the additional variant also fits into the Liqui Moly oil cabinet.
The exterior of the bag-in-box packaging consists of coated, waterproof cardboard. It contains a fully recyclable plastic bag, which uses 90% less plastic than a conventional 20-litre canister.
During the development phase, when it came to storage in the garage, a key requirement was the bag-in-box should fit in the Liqui Moly oil cabinet.
Liqui Moly Managing Director, Günter Hiermaier, said: “After all, thousands of garages all over the world use this tried-and-tested organization and storage system and should not have to buy an additional or alternative one. Thanks to the integrated drip tray made of galvanized sheet steel, the oil cabinet meets the official requirements in Germany for handling water-polluting substances. It can also be locked, which counteracts lubricant loss.
“While a lot of freight space is wasted when transporting empty plastic canisters to our oil production facilities, the same number of folded bag-in-box packages take up a fraction of the space. This makes logistics more efficient. Even when filled with oil, the new container scores points compared to the pure plastic canister when it comes to the space required on a pallet.”
