With more than 3 billion cups consumed every day, tea is now the second most consumed beverage in the world after water. Its popularity spans cultures, habits, and generations, making every infusion a ritual moment, an act of hospitality, or a personal pause.
This global success, also driven by the growing demand for healthier alternatives, is pushing the sector towards increasingly innovative and sustainable solutions, including in the field of packaging.
Filter paper: the invisible heart of a perfect infusion
In the world of hot beverages, filter paper plays a key role, even if it often remains unseen. Its quality directly influences product performance: it ensures proper infusion, retains particles, preserves flavour, and increasingly meets specific environmental requirements.
Carte Dozio supplies specialised filter papers for tea bags, herbal infusions, and infusion products in different formats and basis weights, designed for coffee roasters, food companies, and industry professionals.
We offer certified filter papers for hot infusion applications, combining excellent strength and filtration properties, available in both traditional and compostable versions.
Compostability: a conscious choice, available in two options
As part of the transition towards increasingly responsible packaging, we provide compostable filter papers compliant with EN 13432, available with the two main certifications required by the market:
Industrial Compost: materials designed to be disposed of through organic waste collection and subsequently processed in industrial composting facilities. A solution that is already widely adopted in Italy.
Home Compost: solutions designed for domestic composting, allowing disposal directly at home (for example in a garden or household composting system). This practice is already widespread in several European countries and is also growing in Italy, particularly among consumers who are more aware of sustainability issues.
Both solutions guarantee biodegradability and the release of residues below the limits established by current regulations, transforming used tea bags into a resource for the soil without compromising its characteristics or future crops.
Quality and flexibility: the value of our production
Thanks to our extensive experience and our in-house cutting and rewinding facilities, Carte Dozio can provide:
