At the Automechanika, Liqui Moly's Bag-in-Box packaging system made its debut. The highlight: Compared to conventional 20-liter plastic canisters, significantly less plastic waste is generated, and the additional variant also fits into the Liqui Moly oil cabinet.
Free Disposal Possible
The exterior of the new Bag-in-Box packaging is made of a coated, waterproof cardboard. Inside it is a fully recyclable plastic bag, which requires 90% less plastic to manufacture than a classic 20-liter canister. Visible to workshops: a significantly lower waste volume in the bin or container. Although Bag-in-Box is made from different materials, free disposal through the container recycling company of the mineral oil industry (GVÖ) is possible, just like with conventional plastic containers.
Suitable for the Liqui Moly Oil Cabinet
When it came to workshop storage during the development phase, a key condition was that the Bag-in-Box fit into the Liqui Moly oil cabinet.
“After all, thousands of workshops around the world use this proven organization and placement system and should not have to acquire any additional or alternative ones,” says Liqui Moly CEO Günter Hiermaier.
Thanks to the integrated drip tray made of galvanized steel sheet, the oil cabinet meets regulatory requirements in Germany for handling water-hazardous substances. It is also lockable, which helps prevent lubricant loss.
Advantages for Logistics
Even before Liqui Moly fills the supplementary packaging variant, it plays its sustainability card.
“While a lot of freight space is wasted when transporting empty plastic canisters to our oil production, the same number of folded Bag-in-Box packages takes up a fraction of the space. This makes logistics more efficient,” explains Günter Hiermaier.
Even filled with oil, the new container scores points over the pure plastic canister when it comes to space requirements on a pallet.
