Lecta: Reducing CO2 emissions by 10%
As a result of implementing a variety of energy-saving projects, including the start-up of new CHP plants, improvements in manufacturing processes, upgrading equipment, eliminating the use of fuel-oil and using rail rather than ground transport, Lecta has reduced its CO2 emissions per t of paper by 10% since 2006.
In the last two years, despite changes aimed at manufacturing more higher added-value specialty papers, which have entailed lower productivity levels overall, Lecta has continued to reduce emissions to values of 0.36 t CO2 per t produced in 2012.
All Lecta mills have strict CO2 emissions control systems in place and have obtained ISO 50001 energy efficiency certification.
