Many of you will know about our lovely range called CRUSH made by Favini in Italy. The paper is made partly using the residue from the industrial processing of crushed citrus fruit, coffee, nuts, olives, kiwi, corn, lavender cherries and grapes, these agro-industrial "end of life" products replacing up to 15% of conventional tree pulp. The range is available in 100, 120, 200, 250 and 350gsm and the shades are natural, earthy tones and the feel of the paper is natural and tactile.The 15% process residues are combined with 40% recycled fibres (post consumer waste) and the remainder is FSC virgin pulp and the product is FSC certified. The range is produced using green energy and is carbon balanced at the mill gate (we can also supply the paper in the UK, certified as carbon balanced)This is the current swatch which shows the colours and range of weights...Below are more detailed images and hopefully you can see the small specs and inclusions in the paper. Corn, Citrus,
Cocoa and Grape, pictured below, are totally natural shades produced without the use of any dies, which can result in an amount of shade variation from batch to batch.

The deeper shades are produced with the addition of environmentally friendly vegetable dies which ensure greater colour consistency......and the latest addition to the range is Crush Coconut, which is a lovely shade of blackDesign and art direction is by Silk Pearce.
