FAVINI Srl
About us
Favini is a leading global producer of graphics specialties, natural fibres-based (cellulose, algae, fruits, nuts, leather, textile etc.), for the packaging of luxury and fashion industries.
Upcycling is a key element in Favini’s philosophy: Favini has in its DNA the principles of the circular economy and creative reuse. It is these two important aspects which from an environmental perspective, has led the company over the years to seek out alternative solutions using by-products as the precious raw material in the production of low impact and ecological quality papers, such as Alga Carta, Crush, Remake and – recently – Refit.
