In an effort to help relieve the pressure on dwindling forest resources, Italian stationery company Favini has unveiled a new range of eco-friendly paper designed for creative work and packaging.

Called Crush, the range took Favini’s product management team 18 months to develop,
test, produce, and patent. Organic residues such as fruits and nuts that would
otherwise be added to animal food and fertilizers or simply discarded are
processed with recycled and virgin pulp to create paper that is naturally colored
and with a distinctive flecked texture, reads myproductscoop.com.
Made from leftover corn, kiwi, orange, almond, olive, hazelnut, and coffee beans, Crush
is manufactured in Favini’s own hydroelectric plant near Venice. Containing 15
percent less tree pulp, the paper is composed of 30 percent post-consumer
recycled waste.
According to Favini, the Crush range can be used in all major print and finishing
processes, including publishing, corporate literature, packaging, and mailing.
Last year, Crush picked up the Luxe Pack in Green Award at creative packaging
show Luxe Pack Monaco.
