Lecta has made clear progress in eco-friendly packaging. Lecta’s EraCup Natural board earns the flustix “Less Plastics Product” certification. The board now shows at least 99.25% plastic-free material. Accredited labs confirm this high standard.

Key Features of EraCup Natural:

• Material: It uses Solid Bleached Board (SBB) from pulp of responsibly managed, certified forests.
• Surface: The board stays smooth and natural and supports flexographic and offset printing.
• Coating: Its inner side gets an aqueous dispersion coat. This layer boosts heat-seal resistance and conversion efficiency.
• Sustainability Certifications:
  • The flustix label confirms very low plastic use.
  • DIN CERTCO certificates show it composts in industry and at home.
  • It holds Level A recyclability as per Aticelca 501/19.
  • It works well with common paper recycling streams.

The flustix label sets industry standards by checking plastic content against global rules. This check makes sure the board is traceable. The certification proves Lecta cares about safe and low-impact packaging.

Industry Impact and Sustainability Commitment

Armin Van Overbeek, Specialities Commercial Director at Lecta, said this recognition makes EraCup Natural a benchmark paperboard for food service packaging. The board now meets market needs for packaging that is sustainable, safe, and recyclable. This award fits Lecta’s plan to use fewer non-renewable resources and boost a circular economy.

The EraCup range shows Lecta’s idea of “A New Era of Responsibility.” This idea drives responsible innovation and helps the food packaging sector move toward a sustainable future.
