Lecta unveils new functional Metalvac papers

Heat sealable and water vapor resistant metallized solutions for packaging. Lecta has developed new metallized papers with functionalities specifically oriented towards flexible packaging, recyclable products with the aim of replacing some of the materials currently in use that contain plastic. The new <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=5918c08b-8079-4807-b363-80c9c612daaf">Metalvac Seal</a> and <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=d577ea5f-285f-4f0a-9644-93e51e1f1e43">Metalvac Barrier WV</a> are the result of innovative work based on Lecta's expertise in direct high-vacuum metallization, the application of coatings and the search for the appropriate components to achieve the desired functionalities. Both products we present have characteristics suitable for specific flexible packaging applications, and in both cases, they are recyclable and therefore more sustainable. Metalvac Seal: Functional metallized paper with heat-sealing properties on the back. Suitable for graphic and flexible packaging applications (such as flowpacks, sachets, envelopes, or wrappers) for non-food products (collectible cards, stickers, toys, hotel amenities, etc.) and food products that do not require a specific barrier. The shiny metallized side is suitable for offset printing (conventional and UV), flexography (UV, solvent, and water-based), and gravure. Metalvac Barrier WV: Functional metallized paper with heat-sealing and barrier properties against water vapor, light, and a certain level of grease. Suitable for flexible packaging applications (such as flowpacks, sachets, wrappers, caps, etc.) for both non-food and food products (such as confectionery, coffee, tea, powdered products, etc.). Heat-sealable on the metallized interior side. Printable on the exterior side through gravure, flexography, and offset printing.Lecta continues to work on the development of other innovative metallized papers aimed at the flexible packaging segment, providing new functionalities such as oxygen barrier or high grease resistance without the use of fluorinated elements. These products are currently in the process of homologation and certification.The entire <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=f3747b76-9025-4725-84d4-c1890685338d">Metalvac range</a> is manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, essential for the food industry, in compliance with ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management, ISO 50001 energy efficiency, ISO 9001 quality and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards. It is also available upon request with PEFC or FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody forestry certifications.For more information about Lecta’s Metalvac products, please visit <a href="/en">www.lecta.com</a>.

Metalvac: Lecta's high value-added metallized paper

Metalvac is Lecta's range of metallized paper manufactured at our Leitza (Navarra, Spain) mill.<a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=ab4fa7a3-0634-4500-936f-c564acc72d36&TermSetId=df97ac4b-f748-499e-bb14-37fe224b64ce&TermId=f3747b76-9025-4725-84d4-c1890685338d">Metallized paper</a> is produced using direct high vacuum metallization technology, a process in which 0.08 g/m2 of aluminum is deposited on a one-side coated paper.This is a single-material, paper-based solution, making Metalvac the sustainable alternative to other choices available in the market today, such as metallized plastic (polypropylene, polyester) films, aluminum foil - a product whose aluminum content is on average 300 times greater than that of metallized paper, or hot-stamping and metallic inks, amongst others.Noteworthy among its numerous advantages are: <ul><li> Recyclability in standard paper and cardboard circuits</li><li> High opacity</li><li>Good folding properties</li><li>Good mechanical resistance</li><li>An even, glossy, smooth surface</li><li> Excellent printability for offset, flexo and rotogravure printing</li></ul>Metalvac is an ideal paper for manufacturing high-quality wet-glue and self-adhesive labels, as well as for graphic applications. You may also look forward to hearing more about our new range of functional metallized papers, especially designed for flexible packaging for food and non-food products, in the near future. Thanks to our integrated production system, including the manufacture of pulp and base paper, along with in-depth technical expertise, both in manufacturing techniques for a variety of specialty papers and in applying coatings, Lecta has developed a range of functional papers with sealing and barrier properties. These products are designed for the world of flexible packaging in the food, toy, and food service industries.The entire Metalvac range is manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, essential for the food industry, in compliance with ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management, ISO 50001 energy efficiency, ISO 9001 quality and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards. It is also available upon request with PEFC or FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody forestry certifications.For more information about Lecta's Metalvac products, please visit <a href="/en">www.lecta.com</a>.

Lecta: efficient, responsible water management as a priority

We continue working to improve water quality to minimize our environmental footprint.Water is essential in the pulp and paper industry, which is why at Lecta we prioritize the efficient use of this valuable natural resource. Our mills have a high rate of water recycling, and the amount discharged is almost equal to the intake.Even though our outlet water is within regulated legal limits, we continue to work on improving water quality to reduce our environment footprint even further and constantly monitor waste disposal. In addition, in our mills there are also closed water systems, in which water is reused repeatedly.Lecta is ambitious in continuing to anticipate and carefully manage our water usage and consumption through increasingly efficient processes and water management strategiesThe new wastewater treatment plant at our Zaragoza, Spain, mill is a recent example of a project aimed at efficiency to minimize our environmental footprint and to better integrate with the surrounding region.
