Can we create textile fibers from the byproducts of the chocolate industry?

Yes, we can. And that is precisley what is happening at Cocoa Fiber Inc.

What started as an interest in her family legacy in Cocoa Fiber, became an emerging textile fiber for the global economy.

In the chocolate production process, less thatn 25% of the cocoa plant's biomass is utilized, whihc are the cocoa beans. The remaining 75% of the biomass including husk, mucilage, and pulp are discarded. This accumulated about 9-12 million tons of agricultural waste per year.

At Cocoa Fiber, we know that we have access to about 9 million tons of cocoa pod husk (CPH) waster per year and the technology to transform that waste into bio based textile fibers.

Cocoa Pod Husks (CPH) would otherwise sit in farmer fields and rot, releasing methane gas as they decompose.

Additionally, farmers around the worlds are facing rising fertilizer costs while bearing a waste management issue for pods. On some farms CPH are incinerated exacerbating pollution caused by dumping.

Shannen-Kaylia, the founder of Cocoa Fiber is changing the narrative from waste to resource, starting on her family fam -- and with incredible global growth potential!
