(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire / -- MOL Group's lubricant subsidiary, MOL-LUB Ltd., has taken another major step forward in sustainability by introducing a new eco-friendly Bag-in-Box packaging solution for its range of lubricants and engine oil products. The innovation reduces plastic use by up to 80% compared to current 20-liter plastic containers, aligning with MOL Group's SHAPE TOMORROW Strategy to advance circularity and reduce its environmental footprint.

The new Bag-in-Box system consists of an inner plastic bag and an outer cardboard box, combining lightweight design with robustness and functionality. The cardboard box is fully recyclable, ensuring that the environmental impact is reduced across the entire product lifecycle - from production and logistics to end-of-life management. Compared to the previously used 20-liter canister, the new packaging requires 80% less plastic, while the waste volume is reduced twelvefold.

“This new packaging solution demonstrates how MOL Group is integrating sustainability principles into every level of its operations,” said Szabolcs Kozma, Managing Director at MOL-LUB Ltd.“By significantly reducing plastic use and enabling easy recycling, we are offering our customers and end-users a sustainable solution while maintaining the same high product quality that MOL lubricants are known for.”

The packaging, available in 5- and 20-liter variants, also offers operational and logistical benefits. The compact shape and stackable design of the Bag-in-Box reduce storage and transport volume, contributing to lower logistics emissions.

In the case of the 20-liter format, up to 88% more units fit on a single pallet, leading to as much as 40% savings in transportation costs, depending on delivery conditions. The design ensures easier handling for customers in industrial, commercial, and service environments–thanks to its smart tap design, lubricants can be dispensed cleanly and accurately, without dripping or spillage.

The introduction of the new packaging aligns with MOL Group's wider innovation and sustainability efforts, aimed at decreasing environmental impact and promoting circular solutions. The company is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its product portfolio while helping its partners achieve their sustainability goals.
