Penrite’s CEO Toby Dymond was visiting workshops and saw dumpsters overflowing with empty 20L drums, he knew something needed to be done to help preserve the environment for future generations to come.
That solution is Enviro Box™, the ‘bag-in-a-box’ concept, which a robust plastic bladder is encased in a sturdy, non-waxed cardboard box. The product is dispensed via a tap, like a wine cask. Lubricant can be extracted by running through the tap into a jug and then dispensed into the vehicle, or hand-pumped directly into the vehicle.
Since its release, the Enviro Box™ has been embraced by mechanics Australia-wide. Research has shown that the reasons for the successful uptake include money saved on waste removal, the reduction in landfill waste and the way the Enviro Box™ stands aide in the effective organisation of workshops.
Tony from Indy Automotive Repairs in Moorabbin, VIC, is delighted with Enviro Box™. “This product is fantastic! We had to empty our general waste bin every week or so due to the amount of empty 20L plastic containers we were throwing out. To empty that bin, it costs me $75. Now with Enviro Box™, the box is crushed and put into the recycle bin. It takes me about 6-8 weeks to fill that one and costs me $6 to empty!”
Toby Dymond, CEO, says “Penrite is the first Australian owned and manufactured company to develop and distribute a solution to the plastic packaging for lubricants. Each Penrite Enviro Box™ used will result in an 85 per cent reduction in landfill waste compared to a 20L plastic drum.”
Did you know that you can use the Enviro Box™ to re – fill a 60-litre drum? That’s right! To further reduce cost and clutter in your workshop, the contents of an Enviro Box™ can be decantated into an empty 60 litre drum, thereby eliminating the need to order another 60-litre drum.
The benefits are:
The Enviro Box™ range includes Penrite’s best-selling products, which have been in high demand to be available in the Enviro Box™ packaging since the concept’s release. The Enviro Box™ range now includes Engine Oils, Coolants, ATF & Gear Oils, Brake Fluids, Additives and Industrial products.
“The range will expand again soon,” says Mr. Dymond, “to cater for the growing demand in this new packaging. Penrite again leads the way, not only in quality product and superior customer service, but also packaging innovation.”
