Tests were conducted by an accredited laboratory to confirm the product\u2019s composition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EraCup Natural is a solid bleached board (SBB) made from pulp obtained from responsibly managed and certified forests.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the company, it has a smooth, natural surface suitable for flexographic and offset printing, with an inner layer coated with an aqueous dispersion, enhancing heat-sealing resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flustix label measures the plastic content in materials and products according to international standards and traceability requirements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Together with its technical properties, the certification places EraCup Natural among the leading options for single-use paper cups and food service packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides, EraCup Natural has also been approved by DIN CERTCO for industrial and home compostability.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It has received recyclability Level A under Aticelca 501\/19 and is compatible with conventional paper recycling systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company stated that this achievement represents further progress in its work to limit the use of non-renewable materials as well as support circular, lower-impact solutions. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Lecta specialities commercial director Armin Van Overbeek said: \u201cThis accreditation confirms EraCup Natural as a benchmark board for food service applications, designed to deliver outstanding converting performance and respond effectively to new market demands.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reflects our ongoing commitment to developing safe, regulation-compliant, and highly recyclable solutions that enable converters and brand owners to advance their sustainability goals and strengthen brand differentiation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July 2025, Lecta added new paperboard grades<\/a> to its EraCup range, designed to address the sustainability needs of disposable packaging in the foodservice industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The updated EraCup lineup includes EraCup Natural, EraCup 1PE 10, EraCup 1PE 15, and EraBase, for use in hot and cold drink cups, along with food containers and boxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
