English term or phrase: leverages
This paper cost effectively leverages technologies used in the development of KODAK DURALIFE Paper and combines them with a patented film laminate technology.

I'd like to know a correct translation for the verb 'leverages' used above.

aplancamiento / apoyarse /aprovecharse etc
Explanation:
See ref below, includeing an extract that illustrates use of 'leverage'. Leverage means 'apalancamiento', which is effectively 'to use something so as to do something which you wouldn't be able to do otherewise', kinda like 'aprovecharse de' algo.

This paper cost-effectively (THIS SHOULD BE HYPHENED I THINK) leverages technologies used (APROVECHA (de manera ...)DE LAS TECNOLOGIAS UTILIZADAS) in the development of KODAK DURALIFE Paper and combines them with a patented film laminate technology. SEE OTHER INTERPRETAIONS BELOW.

aprovechar


Explanation:
"aprovecha de manera rentable/conveniente en función de los costos"

we have seen many times this term when translating IT products' brochures. "aprovechar" fits perfectly, specially when complemented with modal adverbs like "cost-effectively"

Explanation:

La idea del "máximo aprovechamiento" es la mejor, segun entiendo yo.
También creo que el empleo del término inglés está algo forzado en el original, pero la idea se intuye.
Suerte.
