This environmentally conscious packaging is not only convenient but will also preserve quality and extend shelf life. Better for the environment: The Bag-in-a-Box packaging reduces waste by replacing several 1 gallon plastic bottles, caps and coated labels with just one BPA and Phthalate-free plastic bag within a recyclable cardboard box. Longer shelf life: This packaging preserves the oil better than other packaging with the oil kept in the dark away from any damaging light. Additionally, the oil stays fresher with less damaging oxidation. Oil goes out, but no excess air comes in. Convenient: The gravity fed dispensing spout reduces spills, drips and waste due to remaining drips of oil typically left in emptied plastic gallons. 100 Percent product utilization is the result.
