We produce over 300 different varieties of containers for the filling industry. Furthermore, we are intensively advancing model developments not only in this field, but also in the field of bath fittings, office products and technical plastic components.
The Jokey Group, one of the leading manufacturers of plastic packaging, has developed a bucket with a sealing lid for filling dispersion paints together with its long-standing customer Meffert. The internationally active Meffert AG Farbwerke, headquartered in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, primarily produces paints and varnishes in addition to plasters and building protection products. The sealing technology ensures the quality characteristics of the product even more strongly than before and thus optimises the processing procedure.
In 2020, both companies started initial test series for the development of the sealing lids. For the buckets, Jokey relies on the oval JETO+, which has already proven itself millions of times over as packaging for paints, adhesives, and other building materials. The Jokey developers also drew on extensive experience: on the one hand, Jokey has decades of expertise in sealing food packaging; and on the other hand, the developers have also been experimenting for a long time with different approaches to sealing techniques in close cooperation with Jokey customers from the non-food sector. From the series of tests with Meffert, a sealing technology has now been developed for the first time for a customer from the paint industry: the SIFO technology. The acquisition of a high-performance, fully automatic filling line with bucket sealing enabled Meffert AG Farbwerke to start filling the first SIFO containers in December 2021. At the beginning of 2022, the 15-litre JETO+ 150 container with special sealing lid was successfully launched on the market. Other sizes are in the planning stage.
The Jokey Group has launched a cooperation in Poland together with Henkel Adhesives Technologies and Akpol, a Polish specialist in plastics recycling.
The collaboration aims to advance the circular economy in both the plastics industry and the construction sector and further solidify sustainability along the entire value chain. The three companies have already been active in a pilot project with fully recyclable packaging since 2021. The project explores the possibilities of closed loops, where raw materials are kept in strictly closed cycles. To ensure this, Henkel as brandowner, Jokey as a specialist in sustainable packaging solutions and Akpol as an expert in plastics recycling work closely together: Henkel fills construction products for the Polish market in recyclate buckets from Jokey, to which Akpol supplies the raw materials recovered through recycling. These come from a customized collection system. In this process, used Jokey buckets are specifically collected from construction sites and delivered to Akpol for recycling. The company recovers high-quality post-consumer recyclate from it through mechanical recycling and supplies it back to Jokey for the production of new recyclate buckets. After the test phase, the project will be analyzed and expanded if the closed loop is successful.
The Jokey Group, one of the leading manufacturers of plastic packaging, has agreed on a cooperation with the Austrian plastics producer Borealis, in order to jointly accelerate action on circularity. Borealis is one of the world’s leading providers of advanced and circular polyolefin solutions and a European market leader in base chemicals and the mechanical recycling of plastics.
The objective of the intensified cooperation is to combine the innovative strengths of both companies over a period of at least two years while actively promoting the development and marketing of recyclable plastic packaging. The focus is set on the continuous improvement of new sustainable and resource-efficient solutions, which are suitable for the highest customer demands and reinforce the circular economy. Borealis’ and Jokey’s teams of experts are continuously exploring possible uses of renewable materials in order to evaluate their performance. In a previous project-related cooperation, Jokey already purchased more than 100 tonnes of Bornewables™ renewable polypropylene from Borealis. This year, 110 metric tonnes of high-quality post-consumer recyclate (PCR) will go into Jokey’s production, supplied to Jokey from the state-of-the-art plant for post-consumer plastic waste sorting and advanced mechanical recycling in Lahnstein, Germany, co-operated by Borealis. The plant, which opened in early 2021, is expected to supply 300 metric tonnes of high-quality PCR to Jokey in 2022 for further processing into advanced customer packaging solutions.
Reuse instead of wasting - Resource-conserving circular economy, the Swiss building materials retailer Haga relies on the grey recyclate bucket from Jokey. The buckets used for selling clay plaster display the RAL recycled plastic quality mark and consist of at least 50% post-consumer recyclates (PCR).
With the use of recyclate buckets, another Jokey customer is taking up the sustainability approach that Jokey promotes in its extended Eco Concept 2.0. It is being promoted in the campaign „Grey is the New Green," which was launched in 2018. Founded in 1953, the traditional company HAGA, based in Rupperswil AG, specialized in the production and distribution of natural building materials in organic quality such as lime or clay plaster. The concept of sustainability is of key importance. "HAGA uses only environmentally friendly raw materials without synthetic additives. They meet all requirements, both in terms of construction biology and ecology," emphasizes Thomas Bühler, owner and managing director of HAGA AG. "With the recyclate bucket from Jokey, we have found a packaging solution that meets our high sustainability standards. After all, not only is awareness of construction biology and the demand for climate-friendly construction growing, customers also expect environmentally friendly packaging design."
With the initiative „Grey is the New Green", Jokey has been promoting packaging made from post-consumer recyclates (PCR) since 2018. Retailers and end customers can thus make an active contribution to resource conservation and climate protection. After all, recycled packaging strengthens a sustainable circular economy. More and more customers of Jokey are taking up the approach on sustainability - the latest is Braun GmbH, wholesaler for floristry and gardening, with its specialist trade brand Chrysal.
Founded in 1960, the family-owned company from Lemgo in eastern Westphalia is further expanding its sustainability strategy. The aim is to achieve the greatest possible energy efficiency, resource conservation and environmental protection, and to reduce its ecological footprint. In addition to operational measures, the entire product range is also being aligned step by step with sustainability goals. For example, an organic range has been added to the product range this year, and in addition to numerous packaging materials made from recycled plastic, the wholesaler is converting further bucket packaging and bottle materials to recycled plastic in the current season.
The Jokey Group, a leading international company in the field of plastic packaging, is now offering products that are certified according to ISCC PLUS. Four locations, three of which are in Germany and one which is in Spain, have been awarded ISCC PLUS certification. The certificate attests to the use and traceability of recycled materials on a mass balance basis. This step represents another contribution by the Jokey Group to encouraging a sustainable circular economy. This builds further on the targets in the company’s sustainability manifesto, the Jokey Eco Concept 2.0.
The Jokey Group has begun processing sustainable plastics at its ISCC certified locations, the raw materials of which are obtained through chemical recycling or from organic waste materials. Jokey is now offering its customers in the filling industry an environmentally friendly packaging solution which is particularly well suited for use in the food sector. In the non-food sector, Jokey has now been manufacturing packaging from recycled plastics, known as recyclates, since the early 1990s. In order to achieve this, post-consumer recyclates from household collections are recovered through factory-based mechanical recycling. Due to increased levels of consumer awareness, paint, construction materials and chemicals, among other things, are increasingly being packed in recycled material
