Introducing NEW Crush Cocoa

The latest addition to the Crush range is Crush Cocoa which is now available from stock together with Citrus, Grape, Cherry, Lavender, Corn, Olive, Coffee, Kiwi, Hazelnut and Almond.

Cocoa is a big market, in fact in a year we spend $100 billion on chocolate products. Estonia tops the country list: Consuming more than 7 kg of chocolate per capita p.a. The cocoa plant has very ancient origins and the first farmers were the Maya around 1000 BC. But it is only since 1500 AD that it reached European civilization. Criollo, Forastero and Trinitario are the most common varieties of cocoa from which chocolate is obtained, one of the most popular foods for adults and children. But who would have thought that it can also be used to produce paper...? 

Below shows the life cycle of cocoa from the fruit to the ecological Crush paper.

Which by-product does Favini use? The skin of the cocoa bean is used to make the Crush paper. It is micronized at their factory in Vicenza, Italy so it can replace up to 15% of virgin cellulose.
