The Jokey Eco Concept 4.0
14 steps to packaging for the circular economy

At Jokey, we aim to develop functional packaging while taking environmental aspects such as material use and recyclability into account. The Jokey Eco Concept outlines considerations relating to material use and packaging design.

Our aim: functional products whose development takes material use and recyclability into account. The Eco Concept covers the topics Eco Strategy, Eco Resources, Eco Design and Eco Digital.

Interview
with Jens Stadter

This video was recorded in August 2020. In the meantime, the Jokey Eco Concept presented in it has been further developed. Since 2024, it has been available as the Jokey Eco Concept 4.0 in its fourth generation. The fourth pillar, Eco Digital, has been added with four further fields of action.

Are plastic packaging and ecology a contradiction? This is often the subject of heated public debate. Jokey explores these questions in a videocast.

Plastic is a versatile material. On the one hand, our everyday life would be unthinkable without it. On the other hand, in view of the gigantic quantities of plastic waste in the world’s oceans, many people would like to see a plastic-free world. How does a leading international plastics processor like Jokey deal with such challenges? Is plastic packaging fit for the future? What role can it play in the circular economy? And does the use of recycled and biopolymers lead to greater sustainability? Jokey gets to the bottom of these questions in this video.

The interview discusses the Jokey Eco Concept and questions relating to the circular economy. He also addresses critical issues around plastic waste, alternative packaging materials, increased expectations of environmentally conscious end users and the long road to sustainable packaging. Jens Stadter also explains Jokey’s vision of using recycled materials in packaging for the past 30 years and why the “Grey is the new Green” campaign is very timely.
