Lecta renews Ineris certification for its entire range of phenol-free Termax papers

Lecta reaffirms its commitment to innovation and sustainability by renewing the official “BPA Free – No Phenols Added” certification​, guaranteeing the absence of Bisphenol A (BPA) and other phenolic compounds identified in the Ineris certification scheme, for its entire range of phenol-free Termax thermal papers.

Ineris (the French National Institute for Industrial Environment and Risk) has once again certified that Lecta’s thermal products meet the most stringent market standards, further establishing the company as a benchmark in the sector.

The Ineris “BPA Free – No Phenols Added” certification is based on a rigorous verification process that includes the evaluation of technical documentation, an audit of the manufacturing process, and an analysis of the thermal paper. This certification examines key aspects such as manufacturing, quality control, traceability, and methods for monitoring the composition of thermal paper.

The audit findings have confirmed that Lecta meets all the requirements of the approval scheme, ensuring that its certified Termax products are entirely free of the fifteen phenolic compounds identified by Ineris.

Rottneros’ interim report January–March 2025

Comments by the CEO: Focus on cost adjustments and a stable balance sheet. The first quarter was marked by weak results due to continued rising prices for pulp wood, the challenging market trend for CTMP pulp and the weaker USD. We are now working intensively on cost adjustments and further efficiency measures. Meanwhile, the chemical softwood pulp market is stable and many of our niche customers still wish to increase their volumes. We are now rapidly implementing cost adjustments and efficiency measures on all fronts in response to worsening external conditions. We are therefore doing what is necessary, even if it is painful. At the end of March, 47 employees were given notice, mainly at Rottneros Mill where we produce mechanical CTMP pulp. Overall, we expect to reduce the Group’s cost base by 35–40 MSEK on an annual basis, with full effect during the second half of 2025. Profitability is primarily being squeezed in CTMP pulp due to the tough market situation. At present, several external factors are forcing us to scale back our production and limit deliveries to fewer markets.

Sappi North America and Biophilica Partner to Launch the First Plastic-Free Leather Alternative of Its Kind

Sappi North America Inc., a leading producer and supplier of diversified paper, packaging products and pulp, announced today its innovative collaboration with Biophilica, the company behind Treekind®. Treekind is one of the only plastic free leather alternatives that is 100% biobased, home compostable, non-toxic, and PETA vegan certified, notably benefiting from Sappi’s textured release paper to give the material an ultra-realistic look and feel. Understanding the important role that touch plays in consumers’ relationship with products, it was paramount for Biophilica to create a product with an authentic, non-plastic-like feel. Touch has the power to shift consumers’ minds into a deeper level of engagement – one more conducive to building a lasting relationship and connection with a brand. To help facilitate this vision in 2022, Sappi stepped in to deliver a high-fidelity, 3D, leather grain solution to impart texture to Treekind through the application of Sappi’s Ultracast Viva® release paper.
