For nearly a century, Penrite Oil has stood as an icon of Australian automotive excellence, a name synonymous with quality, performance, and innovation. Proudly Australian-owned and operated since 1926, Penrite continues to set the standard in lubricant technology, delivering products that meet the evolving demands of the automotive, industrial, and heavy-duty sectors.
Now, as the industry embraces the future of sustainability, Penrite is once again leading the charge with the release of new 10L packaging of its popular Enviro Box range, a breakthrough packaging solution that redefines how lubricants are stored, dispensed, and recycled across Australia and New Zealand.
The next generation of lubricant packaging
The Enviro Box isn’t just another container, it’s a complete rethink of lubricant distribution. Designed as a compact, high-efficiency packaging and dispensing system, Enviro Box replaces traditional plastic drums with a recyclable cardboard outer and a durable inner bladder.
This innovative design delivers multiple benefits throughout the supply chain, from logistics and storage to workshop operations and waste management.
According to Penrite, the Enviro Box system achieves up to a 90 percent reduction in landfill waste, using 100 percent recyclable cardboard and a robust, collapsible bladder that’s easy to remove and recycle appropriately.
Smarter, faster, and more sustainable
For workshops, mobile mechanics, and service centres, the 10L Enviro Box delivers genuine operational advantages.
The smaller footprint and stackable design make it ideal for compact storage and mobile operations, while the integrated high flow tap ensures quick, clean, and controlled dispensing. The design eliminates the mess and inefficiency often associated with rigid containers or bulk oil drums.
Penrite’s new 10L format complements the company’s existing Enviro Box range and is engineered to increase productivity while reducing costs, making it a win-win for both businesses and the environment. Workshops benefit from simplified inventory management, reduced waste disposal costs, and faster turnaround times, translating directly into better service for customers.
Engineered for every application
The new 10L Enviro Box range covers a broad spectrum of Penrite’s best-selling lubricants, ensuring workshops can meet diverse vehicle requirements without compromise on performance or protection.
The initial New Zealand launch includes popular lines such as:
• ENVIRO+ 0W-20 (Full Synthetic)
• ENVIRO+ 5W-20 (Full Synthetic)
• HPR 5 5W-40 (Full Synthetic)
• HPR DIESEL 10 10W-40 (Semi Synthetic)
• VANTAGE FULL SYNTHETIC 5W-30
• VANTAGE SEMI SYNTHETIC 10W-40
Each lubricant within the range meets or exceeds key OEM and international specifications, underscoring Penrite’s reputation for uncompromising technical quality.
Designed with the planet in mind
Beyond operational efficiency, Penrite’s Enviro Box embodies the company’s broader sustainability vision. Every aspect, from the recyclable cardboard shell to the reduced plastic content, contributes to lower environmental impact.
The cardboard outer can be flattened and recycled through standard recycling channels, while the inner bladder can be disposed of through local recycling centres following council guidelines. This simple yet effective recycling process dramatically cuts down workshop waste, supporting cleaner, more sustainable operations across the industry.
As an added innovation, the system features a “litres used” tracker, enabling workshops to monitor oil consumption with greater accuracy, a practical touch that enhances accountability and reduces waste.
An Australian innovation for a changing industry
The release of the 10L Enviro Box range reflects Penrite’s continued investment in sustainable manufacturing and packaging innovation within Australia.
At a time when environmental accountability is increasingly shaping consumer and corporate decision-making, Penrite’s Enviro Box stands as a tangible example of how local industry can lead with purpose. It’s not just about lubricants, it’s about rethinking how essential products are delivered responsibly.
For workshops, mechanics, and distributors alike, adopting the new 10L Enviro Box range isn’t simply an operational choice, it’s a commitment to reducing waste, improving efficiency, and supporting Australian innovation.
A century of trust, a future of responsibility
Celebrating 100 years of trusted performance, Penrite continues to evolve while staying true to its core values — quality, innovation, and sustainability.
From motorsport to everyday motoring, Penrite’s products are engineered for reliability and performance under the harshest conditions. Now, with the expanded Enviro Box range, the company extends that same dedication to protecting the environment, one box at a time.
The new 10L Enviro Box range is available now through Penrite and it’s distributors nationwide.
