At the heart of our operations

Sustainability

Jospak’s mission to contribute to the recovery of climate builds a foundation for our operation. We are committed to sustainability in all our actions, decisions and our solutions strongly support circular economy.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

Less plastic

Jospak® carton tray can be coated with only a thin plastic film. The tray decreases the need to use plastic by 85% and significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to similar packaging solutions made fully out of plastic.

Sustainable
forestry

Jospak® trays are made from renewable wood fiber originating from sustainably managed forests. A renewable raw material like trees grow back through natural processes. Our supply chain is FSC® CoC certified.

No
overpacking

Brand and product information can be printed directly onto the tray, thus also helping with the challenge of overpacking.

Recycling made easy

Recycling of the Jospak carton package is easy, as the consumer can separate the plastic film and recycle both materials in separate waste management systems.

Less plastic, less CO2 emissions, less food waste

Less is more

The amount of plastic used in the lining inside our tray is as thin as possible and the CO2 emissions are considerably lower compared to a traditional plastic food package. Our high-class package solution also reduces both packaging and food waste making it one of the most sustainable packaging solutions available.

REDUCING PLASTIC

In 2022, we helped one of our customers reduce plastic by 24.32 tons. The amount is calculated according to the number of trays used by the customer (1'621'130 pcs), when our tray contains 2.5 g of plastic, and the same-sized reference tray is completely made of plastic (17.5 g).

REDUCING CO2 EMISSIONS

Our packaging solution has notably lower CO2 emissions compared to a traditional food packaging made fully out of plastic. We use a carbon footprint calculator developed by our partner OpenCo2.net, with which we can calculate the carbon footprint of our product from raw materials to the customer. In this way, we are also able to help our customers in their responsibility work.

SUSTAINABLE COMPANY

In our sustainability work, we are particularly committed to three different areas: caring about the environment, people and safety, we are a responsible partner for a more sustainable packaging and food industry.

WE CARE ABOUT...

Environment

We want to be responsible in our daily work. We have reviewed and developed our factory's energy solutions, transport emissions and our own waste management together with our partners.

People

We are committed to ensure the health and safety of our employees. The basic rights of employees in the supply chain are also protected in the FSC® CoC (FSC® C151779) certificate admitted to us.

Safety

We start from the fact that every person operating under our roof has a safe environment to work and visit. We do concrete things for the safety of our work environment.

CERTIFIED COMPANY

Jospak is engaged with continuous development, product safety and quality. Our work has been honored by the British Retail Consortium. We also use carton made from responsible sources only. Therefore, all Jospak® trays are ensured by FSC® Certification. We are also certified with The Strongest in Finland AA-certificate which is granted for companies with high credit rating. It is a sign of our creditworthiness, good payment behavior and reliability. The rating is granted by Suomen Asiakastieto Oy.

Our history’s first sustainability report

Sustainability
report 2022

2022 was a year of great changes in our history. We moved to completely new premises built specifically for our needs. Our technological development took great strides, enabling a new generation of machines. In addition, we renewed our business model so that in addition to readymade trays, we could offer production machines for licensing.
