In the European lubricants industry, an innovative solution is making waves by transforming how packaging is produced. Two key players have teamed up to develop a new can cap made from 50�% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, offering a more sustainable alternative for lubricant packaging.
TotalEnergies and Bericap have introduced this new cap for 20-liter lubricant cans, marking a significant step forward in the circular economy. The caps are designed for TotalEnergies� premium lubricant cans, produced in France and Belgium, and are made using company’s own circular polymer range. This material is a high-quality, mechanically recycled plastic that combines PCR with a booster to match the performance of virgin plastics.
The new caps are designed with eco-design principles in mind and offer several advantages. They weigh 25% less than conventional caps, which leads to reduced material consumption. By utilising recycled post-consumer resin, these caps support a circular economy, promoting the reuse of materials and minimising waste. This innovative packaging solution not only emphasises sustainability but also maintains the high-performance standards required for lubricant packaging.
