Lecta noted that the focus on paper-based packaging will help the partners meet the preferences of consumers while lowering the packaging’s impact on the environment. 

As part of the project, Volpak is conducting extensive tests within its pouch lab, an internal research and development facility dedicated to evaluating the material’s machinability and durability. 

The aim is to ensure these sustainable papers can be integrated into current packaging processes, maintaining efficiency and quality.  

The partnership is a multiphase project, currently in the trial stage, with actual products to verify the effectiveness of the papers and achieve necessary certifications for market release.
