Saving the Planet

Since its inception in 2018, Tipp Oil has received several international awards for sustainability, especially for the quality of its environmental protection measures.

The organization has implemented a cutting-edge Rebottle Deposit System that recycles empty plastic bottles ranging from one liter to 20 liters. The system reintroduces these bottles into the circulatory system after they have been professionally cleaned and cleared of any oil residues. Only the lid of the container is replaced during the process. As a result, these plastic containers can be used for up to two years or more, depending on their condition. This innovative and cost-effective approach benefits the environment and reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability.

This Rebottle Deposit System has also been subjected to an audit report by the German Institute for Sustainability and Economics, which has rated it as “good.” Tipp Oil’s efforts to promote sustainability have earned it international recognition and numerous accolades. The company’s innovative solution has reduced CO2 emissions during the return transport process. During the pandemic, Tipp Oil achieved a remarkable return rate of 60 percent for empty containers, which accounted for 80,000 plastic containers. This recycling procedure is also being carried out in Africa, Europe, and Asia.

“With a production of around 100,000 per month. There was a 60 percent return rate at Corona. You can also see our dimensions from the fact that we are represented in 63 countries. We do not have any raw material problems due to our special technology. The lifespan of our containers is in the range of five years with regular use. They are very sustainable,“- explains Sebastian.

The organization is dedicated to developing environmentally friendly lubricants, recognizing that modern lubricants are high-performance fluids that must be specifically formulated for their intended application.
