This international recognition reinforces Torraspapel's commitment to a new era of responsibility for paper packaging and positions EraCup Natural among the most advanced solutions on the market.

Torraspapel takes another step forward in its strategy to develop environmentally responsible products with the flustix "Less Plastics Product" certification for its EraCup Natural board for food service applications. The certification confirms that the product's composition is at least 99.25% plastic-free — the highest level awarded under this European standard. This recognition validates the board's optimized composition, verified through tests conducted by an accredited laboratory.

EraCup Natural is an SBB (Solid Bleached Board) manufactured with pulp from responsibly managed, certified forests. Its smooth, natural surface is suitable for both flexographic and offset printing, while its inner side, coated with an aqueous dispersion, provides excellent heat-sealing resistance and optimal performance during conversion processes.

The flustix label — a reference in the packaging sector — quantitatively evaluates the plastic content of products and materials in accordance with international standards and verifiable traceability criteria. Combined with the board's high technical performance, this certification ensures that EraCup Natural meets the most stringent requirements for transparency and reduced environmental impact, making it one of the most advanced solutions for single-use paper cups and food service packaging.

"This 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. It 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," said Armin Van Overbeek, Specialities Commercial Director at Torraspapel.

In addition to the flustix seal, EraCup Natural holds DIN CERTCO certification for both industrial and home compostability, recyclability Level A (Aticelca 501/19), and assessments confirming its compatibility with standard paper recycling streams.

Achieving this certification marks another milestone in Torraspapel's strategy to reduce the use of non-renewable resources and promote circular, lower-impact solutions. Within this framework, the EraCup range embodies the concept "A New Era of Responsibility" — a philosophy that drives responsible innovation in food packaging and reinforces Lecta's commitment to a more sustainable future.
