Boxes of oil?

Has anybody seen these in Aus? What a concept!

A goon bag? Can't see it being a bad thing. A little more environmentally friendly than the normal thick plastic bottle packaging. But, for home gamers....where do you put the dirty oil you drained out? That's what the empty bottle from last time is for.

Dang. Good call.

These are marketed for shops over here in North America. They're called "Bag in a box" oil. 

It's not very popular as most shops just stick to barrels and metered oil guns. I've never seen these used or sold for at home use, although the one in the video does seem a tad smaller.

Hard plastic can be recycled, foil can't right? Can't see how this is a step foward.

Yeah, but I reckon the number (fraction?) of oil containers that actually get recycled would be pretty small. They are, after all, at least contaminated with clean oil, more likely contaminated with dirty oil. And if they go to an oil recycling depot of some sort to be emptied into the big tanks....I'd put coin on the probability that they just get pitched into the bin at that point. Even though we're talking about a "recycling facility".... have you seen the sort of oiks that work in places like that? Unlikely to be thinking about the prospect of recycling the bottles too.

There’s my word learn of the month!

Oiks
