A unique paperboard solution: SUPD-compliant, recyclable and based on renewable resources.

​Torraspapel ​​​has set a new benchmark for paper cup solutions with the launch of EraCup Natural Pure, an innovative solid bleached board (SBB) designed for more sustainable, high-performance packaging. Developed from renewable resources, it combines advanced barrier performance with industrial e​fficiency, addressing the growing demand for fibre-based alternatives to traditional plastic-coated materials.

EraCup Natural Pure is a pioneering solution for paper cup manufacturing. Its innovative bio-based barrier coating, based on naturally occurring plant sugars, provides an effective plastic-free barrier. Combined with a specific sealing varnish applied on engineered sealing areas, it enables the production of SUPD-compliant paper cups, offering a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastic-based coatings.

Torraspapel goes beyond material innovation by delivering not only an SUPD-compliant board, but a fully integrated industrial solution. In partnership with Comexi, a global leader in printing and coating technologies, this industry-first approach provides a ready-to-use, scalable solution designed to accelerate the transition of the paper cup industry to next-generation, high-performance paper-based solutions.

Available in grammages from 200 to 320 g/m², it features an uncoated, smooth surface with a natural appearance, ideally suited for both flexographic and offset printing. Its structure has been carefully engineered to ensure optimal stiffness, bending behaviour and performance during converting and cup forming processes at industrial scale.

Fully repulpable and recyclable within standard paper recycling streams, EraCup Natural Pure supports the transition towards more circular packaging solutions while delivering the functional performance required for on-the-go applications, including reliable resistance to water and grease.

At Torraspapel , we believe paper has the power to drive meaningful transformation. With this next-generation, high-performance solution for paper cups, today's technical demands are addressed while contributing to a more sustainable future.

This pioneering development marks a new step forward in sustainable packaging. Discover it at the show.

EraCup Natural Pure: "Pure by Design. Better by Nature"

The product complements the existing EraCup range, including EraCup Natural and EraBase 1S, expanding the portfolio with an advanced solution based on renewable, bio-based and non-chemically modified resources.

With EraCup Natural Pure, converters and brand owners are invited to be part of this evolution and help drive change together towards "A New Era of Responsibility."
