Apr 08, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. All Lecta mills have strict CO2 emissions control systems in place and have obtained ISO 50001 energy efficiency certification. As a result of implementing a variety of energy-saving projects, including the start-up of new CHP plants, improvements in manufacturing processes, upgrading equipment, eliminating the use of fuel-oil and using rail rather than ground transport, Lecta has reduced its CO2 emissions per ton of paper by 10% since 2006, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

In the last two years, despite changes aimed at manufacturing more higher added-value specialty papers, which have entailed lower productivity levels overall, Lecta has continued to reduce emissions to values of 0.36 t CO2 per ton produced in 2012.

Lecta is one of the largest manufacturers of coated woodfree paper in the world and a leader in the European specialty papers market. It is made up of three companies with a long tradition in their home markets: Cartiere del Garda in Italy, Condat in France and Torraspapel in Spain.
