The Crush UVA card is a ecological paper which, thanks to the use of organic by-products of wine processing as a raw and second material, it guarantees a savings of 15% of virgin fibers compared to traditional paper.

Born in 2012 (together with the other cards in the same range), is the result of the industrial symbiosis between the wine and paper sectors.

Furthermore, Crush paper is FSC certified, made with 100% renewable energy, without GMOs, contains 40% post-consumer recycled and its carbon footprint is reduced by 20% compared to traditional paper. Thanks to a Carbon Offset action, the non-avoidable residual emissions generated to produce this ecological paper are fully offset by Carbon Credits acquired to finance activities aimed at improving the environment capable of absorbing C0₂ In the atmosphere

‍How was this card created?

The residue from the first processing of grapes is pomace, a by-product deriving from the pressing of grape berries, mostly recovered and used to produce distillates. Other by-products are generated from distillation: grape seeds, grape seeds, and grape seeds Decolated pomace.

The dealcoated pomace is dried and micronized: the flour obtained in the dedicated mill (in Favini's Rossano Veneto plant), is mixed with water and natural fibers to produce a unique ecological paper: Crush Grape.

A look beyond:

In addition to the by-products deriving from grape processing, the papers in the “Crush” range are also made from residues of kiwis, corn, coffee, almonds, hazelnuts, olives, citrus fruits, cherries and lavender, for the production of ecological papers.
