Polish Centre for Testing and Certification has awarded to
ORLEN OIL the first European Ecolabel licence for lubricants in Poland.
The official distinction was introduced by the European Union in 1992
and identifies products with reduced level of environmental impact.
EU
Ecolabel provides information on company's specific approach to
environment and its protection, and confirms fulfilment of rigorous
requirements applicable throughout the European Union. Environment
protection and changing operational requirements for industrial machines
and equipment represent challenges for producers of oils and
lubricants. ORLEN OIL always strives to satisfy those expectations.
Therefore, a long-term cooperation of our experts with research and
development centres resulted in development of Hydrol BIO oils. The
oils, based on synthetic esters and natural triglycerides, can be
applied where environment protection remains an issue of vital
importance — in nature reserves, national parks, health resorts, and in
the vicinity of surface waters — said Marcin Gralewski, Chairman of the Board of ORLEN Oil.
The
distinction in environment protection awarded to ORLEN OIL by an
independent organisation provides the company with a competitive
advantage, and may stimulate interest of potential clients. Marking
HYDROL BIO HEES EL 46 and HYDROL BIO HETG 46 with a European label
constitutes a guarantee of quality of delivered products. It also
facilitates identification of products satisfying rigorous environmental
requirements. ORLEN OIL oils exhibit low toxicity, large biodegradation
potential, at the level of > 90% (m/m), as well as high content of
renewable raw materials, at the level of > 80% (m/m).
