Tip Oil is on the road to success and is present in 60 countries worldwide. Among the enormous contributions to its fast growth is the company’s Tipp Oil’s unique deposit system, and on the back of its successful global run, the company plans to expand the deposit concept in Europe, not only in the B2B sector but also with end customers.
With its Rebottle concept, the company has sowed the seeds of revolution in the oil industry. Managing Director Sebastian Maier explained the rebottle deposit system: “The empty lubricating oil bottles are taken back, cleaned and refilled by us free of charge. This saves resources and reduces the burden on nature with plastic waste. In addition, the professional disposal of residual oil in the containers, which can otherwise get into the groundwater, is ensured,”. Tipp Oil customers receive 25 cents per recycled container and 1 euro for plastic canisters. Thanks to the adoption and strategic use of this innovative rebottle concept, the lubricating oil bottles are no longer disposable items but can be reused for up to two years. “TIPP OIL” leads the way in showing that sustainability can be and is a necessary part of the global oil industry. Such forward-looking concepts as Rebottle are necessary to combine economic value creation and environmental protection. For this commitment and as a pioneer in its industry, Tipp Oil received the Business Hero Award 2022 in the sustainability category.

Innovation and Commitment to Quality
Tipp Oil’s innovation strength is an essential part of its successful business model. Tipp Oil operates as an application-oriented manufacturer working directly with its customers to optimally adapt lubricants to the processes and machine requirements for multiple applications. The company aims to further develop the potential of lubricants in the long term, for example, to increase the product service life and to develop functional lubricants and innovative products for new technical requirements.
At Tipp Oil, modern lubricants are specifically formulated based on their area of application. A whole range of lubricants is used in every machine, tractor, aircraft, or wind turbine; hence, the process can become complex with the need to regulate viscosity and film-forming properties. Today, in the lubricant industry, there are high demands on the technical characteristics of the formulations, and Tipp Oil’s goal is to create bio-based ingredients for a more sustainable future.
“So far we have had a 70% increase in sales in 2021 and 60% in 2022, even in times of Corona and the state of war in Ukraine, this is because we can always recycle raw materials such as plastic bottles when they are empty.” Added the managing director.
Charity, Social Engagement and Sustainability
We take care of the homeless and people in need. Current aid projects in Germany Aid for the homeless We help Kenya women who are in prison with their children. The whole world benefits from our deposit system because we have created a circulatory system; when you return the empty containers, you get a deposit that people in need can give back if they find empty bottles. We have sources of supply and locations where you can return the bottles in 60 countries. Therefore, as a manufacturer, it helps us to protect a clean environment. Our deposit system is verified by the German Institute for Sustainability and Economy through an audit report that we consume much less CO2 and save this through the rebottle system.
