During the event in July 2023, Mr. Nguyen Bao Trung, CEO of AP Saigon Petro, stumbled upon a water bottle collection machine and was inspired. He realized the problem of pollution from motorcycle oil bottles and started thinking about how to reduce plastic emissions. Initially, he planned to create a viscous bottle collector, but found that this was not feasible because lubricants have a high risk of contamination if not handled properly. When he recalled shampoo and hand sanitizer refill machines overseas, he came up with the idea of a viscous refill machine to reuse bottles. However, he is still concerned about the discharge of used viscous waste into the environment. After many calculations and market surveys, he realized that a more comprehensive solution was needed.
Mr. Nguyen Bao Trung decided to develop the Machine 3R – an automatic oil changer for motorcycles. This device helps to completely eliminate plastic packaging and control the recovery of used lubricants, contributing to environmental protection. The Machine 3R not only meets the technical needs but also raises public awareness of the importance of recycling and environmental protection.
3R stands for Reduce - Reuse - Recycle:
REDUCE: The Machine 3R helps consumers save 30% - 50% of costs, thanks to the cheaper price of automatic oil change compared to buying ordinary oil bottles.
REUSE: The Machine 3R can be used multiple times without the need for additional plastic bottle packaging, significantly contributing to reducing plastic waste into the environment.
RECYCLE: Used lubricants are collected and disposed of in accordance with regulations, ending the discharge of used lubricants into the environment, ensuring safety and sustainability for the ecosystem.
