Lecta has launched Creaset GP PFAS-Free FP, a new one-side-coated gloss paper designed for flexible packaging applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new product is free of per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are often used for their grease-resistant properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new offering will deliver the same performance as traditional packaging materials but with a significantly reduced environmental impact.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is intended to meet growing demand from consumers and regulators for packaging that is both safe and sustainable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a press release, Lecta stated: \u201cWith growing consumer awareness and evolving regulations around the use of harmful chemicals in packaging, Creaset GP PFAS-free FP meets the demand for responsible materials, without sacrificing visual appeal or functionality.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With its grease-resistant qualities, Creaset GP PFAS-free FP is particularly suitable for food packaging applications where the prevention of grease penetration is crucial.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lecta has engineered the paper to ensure that it maintains the necessary flexibility, which is a key requirement for many types of flexible packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The product is part of its wider work on sustainable development.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July 2025, Lecta expanded its Metalvac metallised paper range<\/a> with a new product, Metalvac Seal Oxygen Barrier, a recyclable flexible packaging solution for the food industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new product, which aligned with circular economy principles, was designed to meet the industry\u2019s need for both technical performance and sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Metalvac range was known for its heat-sealability and barrier properties against light, water vapour, oxygen and aroma, all while being per and polyfluoroalkyl substances-free.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the same month, Lecta added new paperboard grades to its EraCup range<\/a>, tailored to address the sustainability needs of disposable packaging in the foodservice sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n
