LESS PLASTIC | MORE ORGANIC

Made with wood fiber reusing wood industry's waste.

FOOD SAFETY

At Lékué we follow rigorous manufacturing controls that ensure compliance with the strictest international regulations for products in direct contact with food, according to the EFSA: European Food Safety Authority, the FDA in the US, the LFGB (German food legislation), and Japanese regulations.

In addition, all Lékué products are periodically analyzed in independent laboratories to certify their food safety. They are also free of bisphenol-A, which guarantees that there is no risk to health.

REGULATIONS

According to Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Wood fibre (Ref. 95920) can be used as a polymerization aid or additive, i.e. in the formation of the material together with polypropylene.

It also complies with the strictest regulations on food contact: Commission Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011, EC No. 1935/2004 and § 30 and 31 LFGB, EPCR (EC) No. 1907/2006. Ensuring a product is free of melamine, heavy metals, bisphenol A, formaldehyde and other harmful components.

SUSTAINABILITY

This collection was created as part of Lékué’s goal towards a more conscious and sustainable business model. The aim of this collection is to start producing new products with a lower percentage of plastic using organic or recycled materials from other industries’ waste, ensuring 100% recyclable products with a long shelf life.

100% recycled and 100% recyclable packaging

We use post-consumer waste for our packaging - maize pulp in this case (40%).

It's also certified 100% Recycled by FSCTM, and is 100% recyclable and degradable.

MATERIALS

The main material used is a combination of wood fiber and polypropylene, a 100% recyclable plastic that's perfect for food use.

Some products in the collection, such as the Jar to Go and Bottle To Go, also contain 5% TPR.

WOOD FIBER

What is wood fiber?

The wood fibre comes from the waste generated by logging activities in the manufacture of consumer goods. Moreover, the wood fibre is formed mostly of cellulose - the most abundant organic biomolecule found in land biomass - which, unlike oil, is a natural polymer and resource.

The wood waste is shredded, filtered and sterilized, then blended with propylene to create this new material. It means resources aren't wasted, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions released by burning wood waste.

With this process, we obtain a high-quality, completely safe material that complies with the strictest of regulations.

RECYCLED PLASTIC

What material is rPET?

rPET is a 100% recycled material, obtained from plastic bottles, which can be used to make fabrics. The bottles are reused and they are given a new life.

How is the LunchBag To Go Organic produced?

Made from 5 recycled plastic bottles, the material (rPET) makes the bag flexible and easy to fold, saving space when it's not in use.

Are Lékué products BPA free?

No plastic used by Lékué contains Bisphenol A or any other toxic element.
