Environmentally Friendly Solutions

Volpak partners with Lecta for a sustainable future

With the packaging industry shifting towards environmentally friendly solutions, this partnership is timely. Consumers are clear in this sense: the preference for sustainable or recyclable packaging guides the purchasing choices of an increasing crowd, in Europe as well as in the US.

Volpak and Lecta have joined forces to test pioneer eco-friendly paper-based materials on automatic packaging machinery, a step forward towards greener packaging mass production.

A shared commitment to sustainability

As one of the major players in horizontal form-fill-seal solutions for flexible packaging, Volpak knows its responsibility towards customers, consumers, and the environment. Partnering with Lecta, a premier European manufacturer of specialty papers, means fulfilling this responsibility by making our knowledge and technology available to test and validate sustainable materials for innovative packaging applications.

Lecta, with its extensive expertise in specialty and graphic papers, recognized the need to ensure that new eco-friendly papers meet the operational requirements of modern packaging lines, mainly based on plastic materials.

Stemming from a shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, this collaboration bridges the gap between material innovation and practical implementation.

Innovative materials call for advanced testing: Volpak’s PouchLab in action

Lecta has already introduced barrier products to the market, suitable for various packaging applications, including flow packs, sachets, and butter wrappers. Recently the company developed new functional metallized, uncoated and coated one side papers. These papers are recyclable and act as essential barriers against water vapor, grease, oxygen, and alcohol. They are also heat-sealable, a fundamental property for effective machinability. The versatility of these new papers also extends to food service items, including cups, even though the current scope is limited to testing their behavior for flexible packaging applications.

Here comes into play Volpak’s PouchLab an internal research and development facility designed to evaluate the machinability and durability of new materials on a real-production environment. This advanced infrastructure allows simulating real-world production conditions, to assess how the physical characteristics of the material respond to factors such as tension and heat. These tests are conducted to ensure that Lecta’s environmentally friendly papers can be seamlessly integrated into existing packaging processes without compromising efficiency or quality.
