WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING OR SPEAKING about products that are environmentally-unfriendly, there is much clamour from authorities and users about making them sustainable.

Over the last few years, sustainability and climate protection is becoming more and more central to the industry. There are several reasons for this: Firstly, there is a general increase in awareness of sustainability; users and customers alike are placing more value on the topic. On the other hand, the requirements in terms of climate protection are also increasing — and are likely to increase much more in the future. And rightly so. Considering the damage that man has done to the environment, it is only right that concerned people stand up and point out the way.

It is for this reason that electric vehicles are also finding greater acceptance in the world at large. Yatendra Kumar, business head, MotulTech India, says, “I agree that consumption of coolant and lubricant will reduce, especially for engine manufacturing, which uses the highest in terms of machining and even after that. Meanwhile, there is a push for eco-friendly lubricants and this is rapidly catching up in India. Often we see demand for bio-degradable cutting oil and water soluble cutting oil. The advantage is that these are quite easy to dispose. Moreover, in no way do they affect people handling these negatively.”
