Refit from Favini...

REFIT is a new paper made with residues from the production of textile and wool production. These fibres partially replace tree fibres and is a real example of industrial symbiosis that enhances industrial by-products, to support the fight against waste within an ethical supply chain. The waste used in this paper is from carding, spinning and weaving processes which were destined for landfill, are used to produce the new REFIT material with a high aesthetic and an expressive value for print and premium packaging.
Here's some more information from the mill... "The residues of wool and cotton are visible on the surface and give a distinctive appearance. From a tactile point of view, the wool contained in REFIT WOOL tantalizes the fingertips with a distinctive roughness of the product, whilst the cotton gives a soft touch to REFIT COTTON. The content of the new REFIT paper includes more than 15% fibre derived from textile by-products, 40% post-consumer recycled cellulose that is certified FSC® and 45% virgin cellulose fibres also FSC® certified. For the production of the REFIT paper the textile by-products used are of Italian origin, coming from spinning and weaving. The use of industrial by-products limits the use of virgin raw materials and promotes the creative reuse of waste, according to the circular economy philosophy. The range consists of five colours: Blue and Black for the REFIT WOOL line, and White, Pearl and Grey for the REFIT COTTON variant. The available basis weights range from 120 to 360 gsm and includes coordinated envelopes, offering a comprehensive solution for packaging and printed communication"

REFIT is a paper conceived and produced by Favini, a company with impressive experience in creative reuse since the 1990’s with its Shiro Alga Carta. The portfolio of innovative and unique ecological papers was expanded in 2012 with Crush, later in 2015 with Remake and now extends to REFIT

World Environment Day

Today is World Environment Day. This event is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. Since it began in 1974, the event has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100 countries. Above all, World Environment Day is the "people's day" for doing something to take care of the Earth. That "something" can be local, national or global. It can be a solo action or involve a crowd.

What better day for me to show the wide range of recycled and environmentally friendly papers in our range...

If you'd like to have an intro to the range or just have a chat about recycled papers, give me a call or drop me an email: justin@fennerpaper.co.uk
