Lecta reinforces its commitment to the environment and to the circular economy with the launch of GardaRecycled Print, its new 100% recycled coated paper with outstanding print performance.

GardaRecycled Print is a two-side coated paper with a natural shade and high opacity, ensuring excellent print quality for both color and black-and-white texts and images. Made entirely from recycled fibers, it is FSC® Recycled Credit certified.

Available in sheets and reels, GardaRecycled Print comes in a range of grammages from 115 to 170 g/m², making it suitable for a variety of applications, such as annual and environmental reports, brochures, catalogues, leaflets, books, direct mail, and promotional print. Th is paper is compatible with multiple printing techniques, including flexography, offset, laser, dry toner, and high-speed continuous-feed inkjet presses.

Alessandro Nardelli, Head of Lecta's Publishing Range, explained: "The flexibility of Lecta's Cartiere del Garda mill in Italy has enabled us to now cover all publishers' needs-- from high-bulk paper to traditional papers, from white to off-white papers, and from smooth to rough textures. With GardaRecycled Print, Lecta takes another significant step in providing new recycled options without compromising performance."

The market for recycled paper is steadily growing. Publishers are seeking materials that align with their sustainability policies while maintaining high print standards. However, non -recycled paper remains essential for many applications requiring the highest standards of whiteness, smoothness, and technical performance. In response, Lecta offers a comprehensive range of both recycled and non-recycled papers to meet the diverse requirements of the printing industry.

All Lecta products are manufactured in compliance with the strictest environmental managements standards - ISO 14001 and EMAS - as well as ISO 50001 energy efficiency, ISO 9001 quality and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards.

By integrating GardaRecycled Print, a 100% recycled coated paper, into its portfolio, Lecta continues to promote responsible practices across the value chain, reinforcing its position as a global, versatile and reliable supplier for the publishing and printing industries.
