ECONATURAL
The real circular system
The planet’s resources aren’t infinite. That’s why we need to go beyond the linear “take, produce, consume and throw away” approach.
The solution is EcoNatural: toilet paper, hand towels, facial tissues, rolls, dispensers and other products manufactured with a circular economy approach.
A concrete example of how the beverage cartons we use every day can be recycled through a special process and transformed from waste into a new resource.
The practical and certified example of the circular economy
Lucart Professional gives new life to all the components in beverage cartons, using the cellulose fibres they contain to produce Fiberpack®, from which it makes paper, while the aluminium and polyethylene are used to produce Al.Pe.®, the raw material from which it makes dispensers, now with a new patented design.
Fiberpack®
EcoNatural paper is made with Fiberpack®, the raw material recycled from the pulp fibres in used beverage cartons. Fiberpack® is an environmental and technological breakthrough achieved through collaboration between Lucart and Tetra Pak®.
Al.Pe.®
EcoNatural dispensers are made from Al.Pe.®, the raw material recycled from the aluminium and polyethylene in used beverage cartons.
