Lecta publishes new environmental report

Lecta Group, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of coated woodfree paper, with a production capacity of more than 1.4 million tons, has published its new environmental report.

The latest environmental report draws together the efforts made in recent years by the group’s member companies – Condat, Cartiere del Garda and Torraspapel – while also detailing the commitments made for the immediate future.

The environmental data included in the report have been evaluated and verified by an independent organization.

Over the last five years, Lecta has invested close to 90 million euros in environmental projects aimed at improving energy efficiency in production processes and implementing modern CHP (cogeneration) plants; reducing CO₂ emissions by increasing control points, upgrading and modernizing equipment, and replacing fuel oil with other cleaner fuels;  achieving a 90 percent reduction of odor-producing gases from the pulp mill in Zaragoza; attaining the most rigorous environmental certifications – ISO 14001, EMAS, PEFC, FSC and UNI CEI EN 16001 – and improving waste management in order to minimize the amount of waste sent to disposal sites and the emissions produced therein.

Lecta’s new Environmental Report is available in four languages: English, Spanish, French and Italian. For the full report in pdf, consult the websites www.lecta.com, www.torraspapel.com, www.condat-pap.com and www.gardacartiere.com.
