# Cow Fat Motor Oil Green Earth Technologies By Alex Covert | Published 2008-03-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cow-fat-motor-oil-green-earth-technologies References: [ecogeek.org](http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/1421/) & [getg](http://www.getg.com/index.php) We love our hamburgers and we love our cars - one bad for us and the other for Mother Nature. A new product from Green Earth Technologies (GET) seeks to help the later of the two. It seems there is an overabundance of cow fat - about 200 lbs of tallow per cow. GET has produced a motor oil made from the inexpensive cow byproduct - a GREEN motor oil. In addition to their environmentally-friendly product, GET also packages the stuff from recycled milk jugs and uses soy-based inks. So now, you can lubricate and cool your car and eat it too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Motor Oils:** Opportunity for developing motor oils made from renewable and eco-friendly sources, such as cow fat, to meet the demand for sustainable automotive products. - **Circular Packaging Solutions:** Innovations in packaging made from recycled materials, like milk jugs, can help reduce waste and create a circular economy. - **Bio-based Inks:** Development of inks made from renewable sources, like soy, can offer a greener alternative for printing purposes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to create sustainable motor oil products to cater to eco-conscious customers. - **Packaging:** Opportunities to provide sustainable packaging solutions, using recycled materials, for various industries, including the automotive sector. - **Printing:** Disruptive potential to develop bio-based inks for printing applications that are environmentally friendly and reduce reliance on petroleum-based products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bio-Based Workshop Lubricants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-lubricant.md) - [Sustainable Multi-Purpose Lubricants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gear-hugger.md) - [Clean-Fried Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-food-menu.md) - [Environmentally-Friendly Frying Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-acre-oil.md) - [Eco-Friendly Organic Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-butter.md) - [Revolutionary Oil Management Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circuloil.md) - [Plant-Based Car Leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-alternative-1.md) - [Tallow-Infused Body Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-your-regular-body-oil.md) - [Carbon-Made Butters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savor-butter.md)
