After cultivation and harvesting, coconut is used for food, the cosmetic industry and within other industrial sectors. The coir that cannot be used for these areas is used as a mulch and it is with the residues from this process, that Favini intervenes!
This material is recovered, micronized and added to the paper, replacing valued virgin cellulose. It gives a unique texture and tactile feel to the paper whilst helping the planet.
In addition to using the coir, we are also able to recover the shell! In fact, the very dark, almost black colour of the paper is created specifically by the shell.
It undergoes an emission-free combustion process that produces organic charcoal by sequestrating CO2 from the atmosphere. The charcoal is added into the paper, making its shade.
