Lecta Goes One Step Further as a Responsible Company with New Adestor Recyclable Packaging

At Lecta, we are reaffirming our commitment to sustainability by moving towards developing innovative solutions that contribute to reducing our environmental impact and encouraging the circular economy.

For this reason, we have substituted the polyethylene film layer with a functional protective barrier, resulting in a 100% plastic-free soft-wrap paper guaranteed to protect the product in optimum condition thereby ensuring the correct storage of Adestor self-adhesive products. With this action, we contribute to an annual reduction of 27 tons of consumed plastic and its equivalent 94,5 tons in CO2 emissions, according to official carbon footprint calculations defined by www.ciel.org (Center for International Environmental Law).

Lecta’s new soft-wrap paper is 100% recyclable and meets the current EN:13430 standard for recoverable containers and packaging.

With this launch, we reaffirm our commitment, as a responsible company, to facilitate the recycling process of soft-wrap paper, thereby minimizing the environmental impact and reducing the associated waste management costs.

Moreover, the new soft-wrap paper for Adestor ream-wrapped sheets is FSC® C011032 certified, guaranteeing that our paper is manufactured with cellulose from responsibly managed forests.

With less plastic and more paper, we are better able to protect our products and our environment.

Smurfit Kappa first FTSE 100 company to gain five stars in recognition of its support of United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals

Smurfit Kappa is proud to announce that its support of and contribution to the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been recognised by Support the Goals. The company is the first FTSE 100 company to receive a five star rating. The SDGs are a universal call for action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Agreed in 2015 by world leaders, these goals can only be achieved with the support of businesses. Support the Goals is a global initiative that was established to rate and recognise those businesses that support the SDGs to work towards a more sustainable future. A five star rating is only awarded to companies who are actively involving their suppliers in their efforts towards reaching these goals. For most businesses, a significant amount of their environmental and social impact comes from the supply chain, therefore it is vitally important to help suppliers understand and support the SDGs.

UPM Specialty Papers and Lohmann promote design for recycling in the tape industry

UPM Specialty Papers and adhesive tape specialist Lohmann have partnered to promote recycling of paper liners in the tape industry. Until now, liner recycling in the tape industry has proven to be very difficult. As part of its own sustainability strategy of driving forward sustainable adhesive technologies, Lohmann saw the opportunity to spearhead design for recycling in the tapes industry. The collaboration builds on UPM LinerLoop, which is the pioneering closed-loop paper liner recycling solution launched in 2018. For adhesive tape liners, the greatest technical barrier to high-yield recycling is that the industry has traditionally used siliconized release liners with a darker brown shade. As the typical shade of glassine is white or some other light shade, recycling darker coloured glassine grades in the same stream would contaminate the recycled pulp. Darker shades are comparatively small in volume so recycling them separately is not economically viable.
