SILKOLENE Lube Cube
FUCHS SILKOLENE says it is now " ready to take our next step to reduce our use of single use plastic bottles " by expanding the Silkolene 4 litre Lube Cube range " designed to offer a real alternative to plastic bottles with a recyclable pack ". The 4 litre Lube Cube range will be made available in all Silkolene grades currently filled into 4 litre plastic bottles . Using the latest print technology , the 4 litre Lube Cube range will feature a full 360 degree colour printed box , " ensuring that our products will easily stand out against all others on the shelf with our striking design . " With a growing global awareness of our environmental impact and focus to reduce our use of single use plastic bottles , the Lube Cubes will offer dealers and their customers the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint - Silkolene Lube Cubes offer a real added value USP that cannot be matched by our competitors ." It is estimated that Lube Cube has already saved more than 800 metric tonnes ( 800,000 kg ) of plastic since its launch in 2012 - that is the equivalent of 16 million plastic bottles , or 96 million plastic carrier bags . Joost van Genderen , Head of Motorcycle division for Stoke-on-Trent , UK based Silkolene said : " We are extremely proud to be leading the way in the lubricants industry when it comes to sustainable packaging . " Our Lube Cube is a piece of genuine innovation and it has revolutionised how we sell many of our most popular oils in the automotive , industrial and agricultural sectors . To have saved such a huge amount of plastic is a fantastic achievement . We have effectively saved the equivalent energy usage of 420
households for one year ." The Lube Cube is a single use , recyclable packaging system when the plastic inner is washed prior to disposal . With zero disposal costs , as it can be included with normal recycling waste , significant savings are to be made when businesses are paying to dispose of hazardous waste . It is constructed from a strong , durable cardboard outer containing a product filled plastic inner . The FUCHS company offer Lube Cubes in 4 , 5 and 20 litre capacities depending on the product . As well as the clear environmental benefits , Lube Cubes are easier to dispense from than traditional plastic bottles thanks to a built-in tap , similar to a wine box . They are easier to store as they can be stacked on top of each other , with the additional benefit that larger quantities can be packed on pallets compared to regular plastic containers , so stocking space is reduced . FUCHS says it has taken a number of steps to reduce its impact on the planet , including the installation of more than 2,000 solar photovoltaic panels at its UK HQ .
