05 Feb 2020 --- Plastics packaging manufacturer Jokey has cooperated with JONAS Farbenwerke paint supplier to provide packaging that consists of 20 percent ocean-based recycled plastics and more than 50 percent post-consumer recyclates. The packaging is also fully recyclable, while the blue rim at the top of the JONAS buckets intends to visualize the circular economy concept prevalent in the packaging design.
“For years, Jokey has been developing its Eco Concept, based on sustainability along the entire value chain,” explains Jens Stadter, Jokey CEO. “The products we manufacture must also be completely recyclable. Jokey has been committed to this responsibility right from the start.”
The post-consumer secondary raw materials used for JONAS buckets are certified by the Gütegemeinschaft Rezyklate aus haushaltsnahen Wertstoffsammlungen (Quality Assurance Association for Recyclates from Household Recycling Collections) and the RAL quality mark.

By this signal, expectations are high that other manufacturers will convert their packaging to post-consumer recycled materials, the supplier indicates.
Meanwhile, all JONAS adhesives, primers and interior paints have been produced step by step without additional preventatives since 2019. The motto is “not supplementing, but replacing” and this without changing any product properties. By further developing “the green white,” the company now produces an environmentally-friendly and high-quality interior paint for demanding coatings.
During the paint production process, technically caused residual quantities resulting from the filling process are being re-formulated and find their way back into the recycling economy in a resource-saving manner. The “paint to paint” process saves valuable new raw materials.
Jokey was awarded the Pack The Future Award in the Eco-Design category for the Jokey-Multi-Pack 185 (JMP 185) at the 2018 ALL4PACK show in Paris.
