Liqui Moly invents the Oil Cube!

Liqui Moly had a simple yet brilliant idea to save 90% of plastic compared to a conventional container.

To age well, wine needs an appropriate bottle, but who hasn’t been tempted by a Boxed wine during happy hour, in moderation of course. Since lubricants are not long-term fluids, Liqui Moly thought of the best way to make the packaging more environmentally friendly. The Bag-in-Box system was thus born and presented at the Automechanika trade show. Its key advantage over traditional 20-liter plastic cans is a significant reduction in plastic waste. Additionally, like a wine box in a kitchen cupboard, the model can be stored in a specific cupboard for optimal space saving.

The exterior of the new Bag-in-Box packaging is made of water-resistant cardboard. It contains a fully recyclable plastic bag, which requires 90% less plastic to produce than a conventional 20-liter can. The result for professionals is better management of storage space and a significantly lower volume of waste in the trash or container.

Finally, whether at the production and packaging site or in a garage, the same volume of oil in a Bag-in-Box packaging takes up less space than in a traditional handled can and is much easier to place on a pallet. And what about empty folded packages that occupy only a fraction of the space taken up by empty cans… the same space as when they are full!

A proof that with a little intelligence, one can make work easier and do something for the planet, even when producing a polluting product.
