Sustainability
Sustainability
We actively work on developing, manufacturing, and distributing products in a responsible and efficient way throughout all stages of our activity.
Our goal: to move the energy transition forward
Our goal: to move the energy transition forward
At Repsol Lubricants, we integrate sustainability as a cross-cutting axis of our activity through projects that impact the entire value chain, from raw materials to end of product life.
Our commitment aligns with Repsol’s global sustainability objectives, which you can explore in detail here.
Packaging Recycling
Lubricant Recycling
-
Packaging WasteWe recover post-consumer packaging at the end of its useful life, so it does not end up in landfill.
-
Packaging RecyclingWe separate and classify packaging to give it a second life.
-
Recycled Plastic ManufacturingWe manufacture our Repsol Reciclex grades with 70% post-consumer recycled material.
-
Plastic Packaging ManufacturingWe manufacture Repsol lubricant containers of 11, 41, and 5l in five colors for the different product ranges, with a 60% recycled content.
-
Recycling lubricants and packagingWith the aim of protecting the environment from the impact of this waste, both used oil from vehicles and most production processes, as well as its packaging, are recovered to be later incorporated into the manufacturing of new packaged products.
-
Lubricant WasteWe use renewable and circular bases, from regenerated used oil.
-
Lubricant Recycling PlantThe regeneration of used oil allows this waste to be treated and converted back into raw material that will then be incorporated into our lubricants. Thanks to this process, our products CO2, footprint is reduced.
-
Environmentally Certified PlantWe will reduce our main production center's net emissions by 70% by 2030 and reduce our water footprint.
-
Lubricant ManufacturingWith the use of renewable bases and sustainable additives, we will obtain a portfolio of 60% renewable lubricants by 2030.
-
Filling and LabelingLubricants manufactured in compliance with strict controls are put in containers made with Reciclex, labeled, and made available to the market, always maintaining the highest quality standards.
-
Lubricant and Packaging RecyclingWith the aim of protecting the environment from the impact of these wastes, both used oil from vehicles and most production processes, as well as the packaging that contains it, are recovered to be subsequently incorporated into the manufacturing of new packaged products.
-
Final ConsumptionWe contribute to lower energy consumption and more efficiency by reducing friction, giving machinery and engines a longer useful life.
-
Transport and Logistics OptimizationWe continue to reduce the carbon footprint throughout the supply chain of our products by optimizing transportation routes and promoting the use of renewable fuels.
-
Repsol Technology LabOur Repsol Technology Lab experts are constantly searching for solutions to achieve a portfolio of products with fewer emissions, more efficient, and competitive.

Gama Master: voluntary emissions mitigation
Gama Master: voluntary emissions mitigation
The Master range incorporates voluntary emissions mitigation initiatives through the implementation of certified projects that offset the environmental impact associated with these products.
This approach allows us to offer solutions that support the transition to more efficient and responsible mobility.

biodegradable lubricants
biodegradable lubricants
These lubricants are rapidly biodegradable. That is, their compounds degrade by at least 60% within 28 days in aquatic environments, under the conditions established by the OECD 301B test >60%. Furthermore, they are non-toxic to humans and the environment.

Research at the service of the planet
Research at the service of the planet
Our R&D team works continuously to develop technologies that improve the environmental performance of our products:
- Oils with lower viscosities. Designed to optimize engine efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and, consequently, CO₂ emissions during use.
- Advanced formulas. We incorporate technologies that increase resistance to degradation, extending the useful life of oils and reducing waste generation.
- New molecules. We replace traditional components with alternatives compatible with emission aftertreatment systems, contributing to the reduction of pollutants.
- Regeneration of used oils. We promote the circular economy by using used oils to manufacture new products. In addition, we develop Ecolabel-certified biodegradable lubricants and oils with more than 70% renewable vegetable-based content, which are already being used in high-level competition.
Sustainable packaging: Reciclex and Bag In Box
Sustainable packaging: Reciclex and Bag In Box
In line with our commitment to the circular economy and waste reduction, we have developed innovative packaging solutions that combine functionality and sustainability:
- Reciclex. Our packaging made with more than 50% post‑consumer recycled plastic can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 10% compared with previous models. These packs are available in 1 L, 4 L, and 5 L formats, covering a wide range of applications—from car and motorcycle engine oils to heavy‑duty vehicles.
- Bag In Box. This format combines an inner bag and an outer box made of recyclable cardboard, along with a practical dispensing tap. Its design reduces the carbon footprint by 69.8% compared with a conventional 20 L container, as it makes it easier to separate materials for recycling.

Towards a more sustainable portfolio
Towards a more sustainable portfolio
We are transforming our product portfolio to align it with sustainability principles. Some of our initiatives include:
- Circular raw materials. Our Libra range, designed for hydraulic lubricants, uses regenerated base oils obtained from used oils, reducing dependence on fossil resources and fostering the circular economy.
- BIO products with Ecolabel certification. We offer a range of biodegradable lubricants that comply with the standards of this official certification, ensuring high performance and a lower environmental impact.
- Solutions for hybrid and electric vehicles. With our EV‑FLUID range, we develop specific products tailored to the needs of these new forms of mobility, supporting the transition to cleaner transport.
