Craftsmanship excellence, an impeccable ethos, and a perfect harmony between aesthetics and sustainability. This is Virtuo®, the capsule for premium wines and spirits made 100% from recycled tin, the latest innovation from Crealis.
The Virtuo® capsule marks a turning point in sustainability: it is monomaterial, decorated with water-based colors, up to 99% recyclable*, and made in a single piece from recycled tin ingots sourced largely from the European electronics industry. This solution delivers a 61% reduction in carbon footprint** compared with an equivalent Crealis tin capsule made from virgin material, while maintaining the same level of purity and unchanged performance, both in terms of design execution and on the bottling line.
The quality of the material offers unique customization possibilities, thanks to rich color depth, refined embossing, and premium finishes, enhancing every bottle and creating an unparalleled opening experience.
* Interzero “Made for Recycling”, independent recyclability assessment.
** This figure is based on a comparison between a conventional Tinclass capsule and an equivalent capsule made from recycled tin. The conventional capsule’s footprint was determined through an independent LCA conducted in 2024 with Deloitte. For the recycled tin capsule, the figure is an estimated value based on data of 100% recycled tin material.
