TotalEnergies Sustainable Packaging

otalEnergies Marketing Kenya has launched a 20 litres lubricant container made from recycled plastic. The new packaging has 15% less plastic, due to the incorporation of post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials used in production.
The 20 litres pail is produced in partnership with Mr. Green Africa and Blowplast Ltd. Mr Green Africa collects plastics generated from service stations where some of TotalEnergies service stations are used as collection points, and processes them into pellets before they are mixed with virgin material at the Blowplast plant to make the lubricant containers. This entire process is done in Kenya.
“The introduction of these sustainable packages reinforces our commitment to environmental stewardship and circular economy. The innovative packaging is a significant milestone in our efforts to promote environmental responsibility and plastic waste reduction by incorporating recycled plastic into our value chain. The packaging is designed to meet rigorous quality standards, while enhancing customer satisfaction by ensuring the integrity and longevity of the lubricants,” said TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya.
TotalEnergies also highlighted that apart from Kenya, they have a used packaging program in Ghana, Cameroon and Ivory Coast. .
