[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] SK Lubricants announced on the 21st that it will use recycled plastic waste to manufacture containers for some of its lubricant products. This applies to about 30% of the lubricant volume sold by the company, including its flagship products Zic X7 and X7000.



Along with the Zic Zero product line, which has been using eco-friendly containers since last year, the company expects to recycle approximately 100 tons of plastic waste annually. This is equivalent to about 5 million 500ml PET bottles. Production of products with eco-friendly containers began today and they will be launched next month. The recycled containers were developed in collaboration with SK Global Chemical and are made entirely of polyethylene, including the cap and label, making recycling and separation easier.
