Kocoatrait is the world’s 1st Zero Waste Chocolate imagined by Poonam Chordia in Chennai, India also as a sustainable and Eco Friendly chocolate in addition to being a Zero Waste Chocolate. For Poonam Chordia, the pillars of sustainability include People, Planet & Profits (not in any other order!). Various aspects of our efforts have ensured that we are completely Zero Waste. Below are the highlights of our efforts:
Sustainable Packaging
Our Zero Waste Chocolate bars are packed using our COCOA HUSK PAPER which is UPCYCLED, PLASTIC & PAPER FREE, RECYCLABLE, BIODEGRADABLE & COMPOSTABLE. This is our contribution towards REDUCING LANDFILL. We have REDUCED every possible Millimeter of the packaging used, helping us optimize your transport volume and making it more SUSTAINABLE, reducing CARBON FOOTPRINT & occupying less SHELF SPACE at retail stores!
Zero Waste Approach
In order to ensure a Zero Waste Chocolate, the inner side of the packaging has mandala art templates, greetings, emergency contacts, habit tracker etc, all of which make the-wrapper reusable and hence Zero Waste! After you have made use of the wrapper, simply place it in moist soil in your garden and in a few months, it bio degrades.
Use of Technology
