Aligned with our commitment to the circular economy and sustainable development Within the framework of its ESG strategy, Lecta is committed to reducing overall waste
generation, increasing levels of reuse and recycling, and achieving increasingly efficient production processes. In its strategic sustainability targets for 2030, Lecta has established key performance indicators (KPIs) that ensure a transparent assessment of its progress in this regard.
Management of process waste is performed in collaboration with trusted partners, to ensure compliance with current regulations and sustainable disposal as well as maximize possibilities of reuse.
The majority of Lecta’s waste is specific to pulp and paper manufacturing and as such is included in the European list of non-hazardous waste. This includes sludge from wastewater treatment.
Lecta’s latest Sustainability Report shows the significant progress the company has made in waste management, achieving a 97.8% waste recovery rate. In some mills, up to 100% of our sludge is reused, for example as fertilizer for the agriculture sector.
This achievement underscores Lecta’s firm commitment to protecting the environment, the circular economy and sustainable development.
