Lecta introduces new thermal and metallized papers with recycled fiber

​​Lecta once again demonstrates its firm commitment to innovation and sustainability by drawing on its extensive technical know-how in the manufacture of thermal and metallized papers to develop new, high-quality products made with recycled fiber.

Lecta has leveraged its expertise in producing specialty papers with the launch of its new thermal and metallized papers. These new grades contain a high percentage of recycled fiber, ensuring the quality of the final product while retaining the technical characteristics required for different end-use applications.

The new thermal paper products are Termax Recy TFXr30 and Termax Recy TFXr100, both phenol-free and Ineris-certified. Thermal papers made from 30% and 100% recycled fibers, respectively, both have excellent print quality in high-speed thermal printers, very good image resolution and good rigidity for label applications, mainly in the retail and logistics industries.

Lecta’s new metallized paper products are Metalvac Recy 70 EWS and Metalvac Recy 100 EWS. Metallized papers for high wet-strength labels for returnable bottles, containing a 70 and 100% recycled fibers, respectively, both demonstrate good printability in flexo and offset and perform excellently in labeling trains, even in moist and cold conditions, as well as in their subsequent storage in refrigerators, ice buckets, coolers and freezers. With a reverse side suitable for good glue receptivity and good flatness, they offer excellent results in bottling lines even at high speeds.

Forging a Sustainable Path: UPM Raflatac and Sustana Join Forces to Drive Circular Solutions

In a world where sustainability is not just a buzzword but a pressing need, companies are increasingly looking for innovative ways to reduce their environmental footprint and drive positive change within their industries. Two such trailblazers, UPM Raflatac and Sustana, have joined hands in a concerted effort to revolutionize the way release liner waste is handled, thus catalyzing the transition towards a circular economy. Release liner, often overlooked and dismissed as unrecyclable due to its silicone coating, is a prime example of an underutilized resource. However, through collaborative efforts spearheaded by UPM Raflatac and Sustana, this perception is being challenged. Michael Garretson, Manager of Recycling and Circular Solutions at UPM Raflatac Americas, emphasizes, "Many people don’t realize that there are recycling options for label release liner. There are. It’s just a function of putting the pieces together. That’s what we’re doing here." Sustana's innovative technology plays a pivotal role in this process, enabling the desiliconization of release liner and transforming it into clean, high-grade fiber and papers. This forward-thinking approach not only diverts release liner from landfills but also unlocks its potential as a valuable feedstock.

Canfor Announces 2022 and Fourth Quarter 2022 Results

2022 was another strong year for Canfor, with the strength in global lumber market fundamentals experienced late in 2021 continuing well into the current year. Significant lumber demand led by solid activity in both new home construction and the repair and remodel segment, encountered tight supply due to supply chain disruptions. The result was ongoing global pricing pressure and high benchmark lumber prices through the first part of the year. As the year progressed, rising interest rates and inflation put significant downward pressure on housing affordability and global lumber market demand, leading to a rapid decline in global lumber market pricing in the latter part of the year. In response, the Company implemented reduced operating schedules at its Western Canadian operations. The Company’s strong earnings, however, reflect the continued benefit of its global diversification strategy which helped to moderate these challenges in British Columbia (“BC”).
