Penrite is probably the first Australian owned and manufactured lubricant company to introduce this highly efficient and workshop safety enhancing packaging.

Each Penrite Enviro Box used replaces a 20 litre plastic drum with a 100% recyclable cardboard box fitted with a plastic bladder that contains the lubricant. Dispensed by gravity fed taps, hand pump or pneumatic pump, this innovative system saves workshop space and enables several grades of Penrite lubricants to be readily available for more efficient servicing.
Penrite Oil has also partnered with Cleanaway to provide excellent value waste collection options.

Penrite Oil general manager Toby Dymond says he firm is thrilled with the award, decided by a panel of highly experienced automotive aftermarket industry peers.

“We believe the Enviro Box packaging concept is the future of automotive lubricant packaging in Australia.”
