Neste and Jokey collaborate to develop the market for rigid packaging from renewable and recycled materials. The joint aim of the partners is to work towards a future for a plastics’ circular economy.
Companies Promote Use of Sustainable Materials
Neste and Jokey want to promote the use of sustainable materials, such as those produced with Neste’s drop-in hydrocarbons. The partners wish to help other companies that use rigid plastic packaging to meet their materials-related sustainability targets.
Neste produces hydrocarbons from renewable and recycled raw materials. Neste’s products for plastics production consists of renewable and recycled components derived from biomass, such as various waste and residue oils and fats, as well as chemically recycled plastic waste. It is well suited for high-quality rigid packaging applications.
The plastics produced with Neste’s renewable and recycled feedstock are compatible with existing production and recycling infrastructures. The plastics quality is identical to conventional plastics as they can be used safely even in sensitive applications, such as in healthcare and food packaging.
Jokey produces rigid plastic packaging, such as buckets, boxes and trays, which are up to 100% recyclable.
Jokey Partners with Neste for a Sustainable Future
“
With the Jokey Eco Concept 2.0, we are setting ourselves a sustainable development guideline. Our packaging is already designed to meet the requirements of a circular economy. We always look forward to explore new paths and to inspire insights with Neste, which will make our future even more sustainable,” says Michael Schmidt, chief procurement officer at Jokey SE.
Neste and Jokey also invites other value chain partners to join in their mission to develop circular plastics value chains and more sustainable plastics solutions.
