Introducing the Guzzini Collection

We are proud to introduce the Guzzini Collection, now available on our website—a perfect embodiment of Italian craftsmanship combined with forward-thinking sustainability practices. With its rich history in design and a pioneering approach to environmentally friendly production, Guzzini has set a new standard in the homeware industry. This isn’t just about creating beautiful products; it’s about ensuring a sustainable future through responsible business practices.

In this blog, we’ll explore Guzzini’s B-Corp certification, its innovative use of recycled plastics, and the scientific research that backs the quality and durability of their products.

What Does It Mean to Be a B-Corp?

Guzzini has recently achieved B-Corp certification, a prestigious acknowledgment granted to companies meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. B-Corp certification signifies that Guzzini operates not just for profit but to benefit society and the environment. This involves examining everything from sourcing of materials, treatment of workers, to their overall impact on the planet.

For a company like Guzzini, this means integrating sustainability into every aspect of the production process. From energy use and emissions to waste management, Guzzini is part of a global movement aimed at rethinking business practices for a more sustainable world. When you purchase a Guzzini product, you aren’t just bringing home a beautiful piece of serveware; you’re supporting a company working to reduce its environmental footprint.

Sustainability: Using Recycled Plastic in Every Piece

One of the standout features of the Guzzini Collection is its commitment to using recycled plastics. For years, Guzzini has been a leader in repurposing post-consumer plastics into high-quality products, all without sacrificing aesthetic appeal or durability.

For example, the Tierra collection includes products made entirely from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles. A single Tierra tray, for instance, is made by recycling 11.5 post-consumer PET bottles. These aren’t just numbers—they represent a tangible reduction in the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our landfills and oceans.

The conversion of everyday waste materials into something long-lasting and functional is a hallmark of Guzzini’s approach to sustainability.

Collaborating with Leading Universities: Scientific Innovation

Guzzini’s drive for sustainability doesn’t stop at using recycled materials; the company has undertaken extensive research in collaboration with leading European universities. This research focuses on both material innovation and improving recycling technologies to ensure that products made from recycled plastics are just as durable as those made from virgin materials.

By partnering with institutions like CNR (National Research Council) and the University of Camerino, Guzzini has tested and developed new ways to enhance the durability, resilience, and overall quality of bio-based and recycled materials. This research has led to breakthrough products like the Tiffany collection, which offers the same quality and brilliance as traditional plastic but is crafted from 60% bio-based plastics. These materials are derived from plant biomass residues rather than fossil fuels, further reducing the carbon footprint associated with their production.

The Impact: Reducing Plastic Waste One Product at a Time

To put Guzzini’s efforts into perspective, consider this: by using recycled PET in their collections, Guzzini has helped recycle thousands of plastic bottles, diverting them from landfills and oceans. A Tiffany tray made from bio-based plastic represents a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to traditional plastic production. This isn’t just about creating beautiful items—it’s about tackling one of the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Guzzini’s use of ISCC-certified bio-plastic materials ensures that the entire supply chain is traceable, from raw materials to the final product, guaranteeing that every item you buy is part of a sustainable and ethical production cycle.

Design That Speaks to Quality and Purpose

Beyond the environmental impact, the Guzzini Collection is a celebration of Italian craftsmanship and design. Each piece, from the Dolcevita serving bowls to the elegant Tiffany trays, is thoughtfully designed to bring sophistication to any table.

The Tierra collection, with its irregular circular patterns, embodies the artistry of handmade items while being entirely produced from recycled materials. These products aren’t just functional—they’re timeless and designed to last, with craftsmanship evident in every line and curve.

The Reviews Speak for Themselves

The collection has already received stellar reviews from customers and critics alike, who praise the products for both their aesthetics and the socially conscious ethos behind them. Here are just a few examples:

“The Dolcevita Centerpiece is a standout piece in my kitchen. It’s functional and gorgeous, but knowing it’s made from recycled plastic gives it even more value.”

- Alice R.

“Guzzini’s Tiffany tray is just stunning. I bought it for serving drinks, but it’s now a conversation piece in itself. The fact that it’s made from bio-based plastic makes me feel good about my purchase.”

- Emma B.
