This widely-recognized certification is a significant achievement for the EraCup Natural paperboard

Lecta has achieved DIN CERTCO industrial compostability certification for its EraCup Natural paperboard, an innovative product for food service applications.

Why is this certification important? The certification ensures that compostability claims are scientifically validated and that items are accepted in industrial composting facilities, unlike "biodegradable" products that may not fully degrade.

In addition to the recyclability certifications already obtained, this new certification guarantees that the product contributes to the circular economy without leaving any harmful residue.

Through innovation, Lecta seeks to develop new products such as EraCup Natural that are fully aligned with responsible consumption habits as demanded by today's society. Innovative paper solutions that contribute to protecting the environment and to creating a more sustainable world.
