Hungary based MOL Group\u2019s subsidiary, MOL-LUB, has launched a bag-in-box packaging format for its lubricants and engine oils as a step towards reducing plastic use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new solution can cut plastic use by up to 80% compared with its traditional 20-litre plastic containers.<\/p>\n

The development is aligned with MOL Group\u2019s SHAPE TOMORROW strategy, which targets greater circularity and reduced environmental impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bag-in-box configuration combines an inner plastic pouch with an outer cardboard sleeve that can be recycled.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This approach lessens the environmental burden across the full lifecycle of the packaging, from production and logistics through to end-of-life treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In comparison with the previous 20-litre canisters, the new format uses less plastic and can shrink waste volume 12-fold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The packaging is being offered in 5-litre and 20-litre sizes and has been developed with logistics in mind.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The box format is more compact and stackable than rigid canisters, reducing warehouse space needs and lowering transport requirements, with associated emission reductions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the 20-litre version, up to 88% more units can be loaded on a single pallet, reducing transportation costs by as much as 40%, depending on delivery conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design also supports easier handling in industrial, commercial and service environments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A built-in tap allows for more controlled dispensing, with the aim of limiting spillage during use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MOL Group reports that the introduction of bag-in-box is part of its broader sustainability and innovation agenda, which aims to reduce the environmental footprint of its product portfolio.\u00a0<\/p>\n
