Three friends. One mission: giving paper a new life.
Not all stories begin in a forest. Some are born in the hands of those who, every day, choose to give new value to what has already lived. This is one of those stories—a story made of paper, but above all, of choices.
In Trevi, in the heart of Umbria, three silent friends are hard at work.
You don’t see them, you don’t hear them, but they’re everywhere: in every well-wrapped pallet, every strong cardboard tube, every box, paper core, and sheet protecting fresh produce. Their names? Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Three words you already know—three pillars of the circular economy. But here at Cartiere di Trevi, they’re much more than that: they’re our way of thinking, producing, and showing up. Every Monday. Every day of the year.

Episode #7: The Recycling Crew: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce: The Thinker
He’s precise and rational. A true efficiency lover. Reduce wastes nothing. He studies every process, every cut, every gram. Because he knows: even one extra centimeter of paper is a missed opportunity to reduce impact. Thanks to him, we create optimized cardboard—tailored formats, calibrated rolls, precision-cut strips. Sustainability doesn’t just mean recycling. It also means producing better: with less waste, less energy, fewer resources. Each well-designed sheet is already a step forward for the planet.
Reuse: The Creative
Reuse is the colorful, imaginative one. He loves second chances and turning limits into ideas. He’s the spirit behind our colored recycled papers—used to create office folders, restaurant placemats, creative packaging, and decorative inserts. With Reuse, no sheet is just a sheet. It’s a new opportunity. A second life. Beautiful, useful, surprising.
Recycle: The Reliable
Recycle is tough and steady. He’s made of stories—fibers that have lived other lives: shipping cartons, newspapers, industrial sheets. He doesn’t need the spotlight. But thanks to him, we make kraft linerboard, cardboard for high-resistance tubes, corner protectors, and honeycomb cores. Recycle reminds us that true strength lies in what lasts—and comes back stronger.
Three voices, one mission
Together, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle are more than concepts. They are the heartbeat of our work. The thread that ties together all our products: from fruit packaging to industrial solutions. Every Monday, as trucks hit the road and machines restart, they are right there. Quiet, but essential.
Behind every sheet, a conscious choice
For over 65 years, Cartiere di Trevi has produced 100% recycled paper and cardboard, made entirely from post-consumer and industrial wastepaper. We offer custom grammages, formats, and colors—because in the right hands, paper becomes value.
Each client who chooses our paper chooses sustainability. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. A conscious step toward a better supply chain, with less waste and more care for the future.
Why tell this story?
Because we’re here—not just as suppliers, but as partners. To support a smarter, more sustainable way of producing. Like the cardboard boxes, strong tubes, and recycled sheets we craft every day: we’re here to back you up, quietly, efficiently, reliably.
Even if your customer doesn’t see us, you know we’re there. Behind every box, every fruit, every pallet—there’s always the right paper.
“Circular economy isn’t just a modern idea.
It’s a smart return to what ancient civilizations always knew:
Everything can have a second life.” (VIDEO)
A few historical facts about the circular economy:
-
Ancient origins
Even in pre-industrial societies, nothing went to waste. Repair, reuse, compost—materials had many lives. -
The 1970s awakening
After the 1973 oil crisis, the world began to discuss limits to growth. The Club of Rome’s 1972 report warned of finite resources and infinite consumption. -
1990s–2000s: The concept takes shape
Walter Stahel proposed a “performance economy” in the ’80s. Later, McDonough & Braungart’s book Cradle to Cradle (2002) called for endlessly recyclable products. -
2010s: Europe takes action
In 2015, the EU launched its Circular Economy Action Plan, updated in 2020, aiming for a climate-neutral, resource-efficient Europe.
