Lecta is ready to unveil multiple new solutions for more sustainable packaging at this year's editions of the Hispack and Packaging Première trade shows. At these major industry events, we will be exhibiting our wide range of functional papers based on circularity and designed to replace non-recyclable materials currently in the market. Some of the notable advances in this field include new food service and flexible packaging papers, made with certified renewable natural raw materials, suitable for recycling in standard paper recycling circuits.

The research and development of innovative paper solutions are part of Lecta's commitment to sustainability. By creating recyclable packaging products that reduce environmental impact, we make a decisive contribution to environmental protection.

Hispack (Barcelona, May 7–10, 2024) is the meeting point for Southern Europe's packaging ecosystem. Lecta will exhibit its complete portfolio of packaging products, including paperboard for luxury packaging, functional solutions for single-use containers, papers for shopping bags, and self-adhesive materials for multiple applications.

Lecta will also unveil its continually expanding range of papers for flexible packaging, with heat-sealing properties and protection barriers. Inspired by nature itself, this range of recyclable products represents a more sustainable alternative for packaging in industries such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, logistics, and gaming, among others.

Packaging Première (Milan, May 21–23, 2024), with a similar focus on the latest innovations, technologies and future trends in packaging, is held at the heart of the Italian luxury and beauty market. At this must-attend event, Lecta will also present versatile, premium products from its extensive flexible and rigid packaging portfolio.
