Lecta has achieved DIN CERTCO industrial compostability certification for its EraCup Natural paperboard, an innovative product for food service applications. Why is this certification important? It ensures that compostability claims are scientifically validated and that items are accepted in industrial composting facilities, unlike “biodegradable” products that may not fully degrade.
As part of its strategy to provide high-value, innovative, and environmentally responsible products, Lecta introduces Linerset FP, a high-performance barrier base paper designed for flexible packaging solutions. This product is the ideal solution for converters and printers seeking to incorporate advanced barrier properties into their packaging, or using it as it is, offering a strong, flexible, translucent alternative for use in bags, pouches, and wrapping applications.
The Navigator Company has begun the pre-engineering phase for the conversion of its PM3 paper machine, located at the integrated pulp and paper mill in Setúbal with the aim of shifting its production towards low basis weights’ flexible packaging paper. This project reinforces the company's strategic commitment to innovative and sustainable packaging solutions, aligning with the growing global demand for alternatives to plastic and the transition to biodegradable and recyclable materials.
