Lecta introduces PFAS-free grease-resistant paper for flexible packaging

Lecta has launched Creaset GP PFAS-Free FP, a one-side coated gloss paper designed for flexible packaging applications that eliminates PFAS chemicals while maintaining grease resistance and printability.

The new paper addresses growing consumer awareness and regulatory pressure around harmful chemicals in packaging. It combines grease resistance with flexibility and high gloss finish to enhance aesthetic appeal without compromising performance.

'With growing consumer awareness and evolving regulations around the use of harmful chemicals in packaging, Creaset GP PFAS-Free FP meets the demand for responsible materials, without sacrificing visual appeal or functionality,' according to Lecta.

The product targets flexible packaging applications where both grease resistance and flexibility are essential requirements. Its PFAS-free formulation aligns with emerging regulations and consumer preferences for safer packaging materials.

The development forms part of Lecta's broader commitment to sustainable innovation. By removing PFAS from the formulation, the company enables its partners to respond proactively to regulatory changes while offering safer alternatives for people and the environment.

The paper's printability and high gloss finish are designed to maintain visual impact while meeting sustainability requirements for modern packaging applications.
