The move establishes a company-wide global standard, following an extensive review of formulations, rigorous raw material selection, and strengthened controls across the supply chain.</p><p>With this portfolio-wide transition, the "No PFAS Added" designation will no longer appear in individual product names, as all Lecta packaging paper ranges are now produced without added PFAS.</p><p>The commitment covers the company's full packaging portfolio, including <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?g=Flexible+Packaging+and+Bags&WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=ebbf1cfa-b628-4be1-9562-209173246ae6"><strong>flexible</strong></a> and <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?g=Rigid+Packaging&WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=ebbf1cfa-b628-4be1-9562-209173246ae6"><strong>rigid packaging</strong></a>, <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?g=Pressure-Sensitive+Materials&WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=ebbf1cfa-b628-4be1-9562-209173246ae6"><strong>self-adhesive materials</strong></a>, <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?g=Labelling&WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=ebbf1cfa-b628-4be1-9562-209173246ae6"><strong>labels</strong></a>, and <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=2e428ea1-f757-4820-8674-528392a8c066"><strong>bags</strong></a>.</p><p>Lecta has also introduced new no PFAS added grease-resistant papers across its <a href="/_layouts/15/lectagroup/internalredirect.aspx?to=/en/products/one-side-coated#k=no%20pfas%23l=1033"><strong>Creaset</strong></a>, <a href="/_layouts/15/lectagroup/internalredirect.aspx?to=/en/products/metallized#k=no%20pfas%23l=1033"><strong>Metalvac</strong></a> and <a href="/_layouts/15/lectagroup/internalredirect.aspx?to=/en/products/pressure-sensitive-materials#k=pfas%20free%23l=1033"><strong>Adestor</strong></a> ranges.

The regulation introduces a ban on PFAS in packaging under its restricted substances framework and places clear obligations on manufacturers to remove these substances from formulations while meeting strict recyclability, chemical safety, and circularity standards.</p><p>The shift toward solutions with no added PFAS is becoming a key factor in ensuring future regulatory compliance.</p><p>Similar regulatory momentum is emerging in markets outside the European Union, further underscoring the need for technically robust alternatives that support the gradual replacement of PFAS-based materials.</p><p>With its range of no PFAS added barrier papers, Lecta provides a scalable, industry-ready solution that allows converters and packagers to stay ahead of PPWR requirements and evolving global restrictions, ensuring regulatory compliance without sacrificing the quality standards the market demands.</p><p><strong>Strategic market commitment</strong></p><p>Eliminating added PFAS is part of Lecta's broader strategy to develop safer, more sustainable solutions aligned with circular economy principles.
