DID you know that the Clayver Ceramic Egg is not just an ‘eggsperiment’ in winemaking – it’s the ESSENCE of SUSTAINABILITY?
Choosing CLAYVER means CHOOSING responsible innovation in the world of wine.
CLAYVER is a lifetime investment, with no replacement required.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?:
Innovation and sustainable technology:
- The eggs are made without chemical additives, without coating, without heavy metals: they are certified 100% food-safe, inert and sustainable. No contaminants for the wines and the environment.
- Clayver eggs have an unlimited lifespan, without loss of performance – so there’s no need to renew them.
- Thanks to modern manufacturing technology, Clayver uses consume less energy, raw materials and water.
Traceability, transparency & local production:
- All production is carried out in-house at Clayver in northern Italy, without subcontracting to low-cost countries.
- Patented Clayver raw material is sourced from European suppliers, ensuring traceability, compliance and ethics and reducing long journeys.
- Clayver follows EMAS standards Eco-Management and Audit Scheme, ensuring rigorous management of environmental impacts.
Controlled life cycle & circular economy:
- Clayver has implemented a circular production model: more than 33,000 kg of dehydrated clay is regenerated each year to be reintegrated into the manufacturing line while controlling water use.
- It also significantly reduces CO2and fuel emissions from the raw material supply.
- Broken tanks are recycled into building materials, limiting waste.
Support for the sustainable wine industry:
- Thanks to their controlled micro-oxygenationand the design of the lid allowing maximum tightness, the vats reduce the use of sulphur and oenological inputs. Insofar as few or no racking are carried out.
- The natural autolysis of the lees in Clayver limits the need for fining or clarification products, also reducing turbidity and therefore filtration.
- The natural thermal inertia of ceramics reduces the need for refrigeration, especially during fermentation and ageing.
- The tanks are mainly cleaned with hot water under pressure, limiting the use of aggressive detergents.
- This allows for a more respectful ageing, less energy consuming, and more faithful to the profile of the wine.
- The company raises awareness of environmental issues among its customers and partners, contributing to a more responsible wine industry.
Social responsibility and local know-how:
- Clayver promotes Italian craftsmanship, handcrafted ceramics, a thousand-year-old tradition, part of the cultural and artistic heritage.
- Clayver complies with European labour standards, particularly in terms of adapting working hours during periods of high heat and guaranteeing a respectful working environment.
- All manufacturing is carried out in a short circuit, under fair conditions.
Sustainable economic performance:
- By reducing energy and input costs, while ensuring consistent quality for the wine, Clayver delivers sustainable performance at every stage.
- A Clayver tank is a lifetime investment, with no replacement required.
- Clayver’s business model is based on the control of the production chain, ensuring quality, sustainability and competitiveness.
