made from apples...
Castelli remain at the forefront of sustainability techniques and are the official Appeel manufacturer and supplier to the UK market and Appeel products are available exclusively from Castelli Milano 1398 and our selected trade partners.
Crafted from patented and pioneering technology and underpinned by an ecological philosophy that recognises the value of nature, Appeel is a low environmental impact product that gives new life to the less celebrated part of the fruit, which would otherwise be discarded. Apple skins, apple cores and special vegetable fibres are the raw base ingredients of this patented technique.
The apples come from orchards in the Alpine mountains of northern Italy, Germany and Austria.
The peelings and apple cores are collected from industries that product juices, preserves and pastries.
These valued residuals are dried and chopped into powder with 24 hours before any oxidation takes place. After this procedure, a highly technical process allows us to obtain cellulose to create apple paper and eco-leather (PU). A process guided by strict quality controls that guarantee the minimum environmental impact.
Appeel products include up to 50% apple cellulose in the eco-leather notebook covering and up to 35% in the eco-paper used inside. The Appeel collection also uses FSC® certified paper, responsible and obtained materials and no contaminant acids or chemicals are used during the manufacturing process.
The plant where the Appeel eco-paper is produced uses 100% hydroelectric energy, they also offset the carbon footprint of manufacturing the eco-paper by funding reforestation projects across the globe.
