Formulation

To create Nutico™, our engineers blend a precise mixture of crushed cocoa husk and walnut shell powders. This is then combined with selected biodegradable polymers and proprietary additives to form a solution. During this stage, NATURAL PIGMENTS DERIVED FROM COCOA HUSKs are MIXED WITH NATURALLY OCCURRING INORGANIC PIGMENTS to achieve the desired final colours.

Production

The formulated base material is processed to ensure uniformity. Then, the granules are transformed into a composite sheet through the cast line in a roll-to-roll production process. Special 100% biodegradable knitted or woven materials are then added to this base material, forming a Nutico™ backing.

Finishing and texturing

At the final stage, the rolls of base material are embossed to achieve the desired texture, appearance, and finish. We have the capacity to create dozens of textures. At present we have focused on plain, full grain (pebbled), and crinkled finish. Currently we offer three colours.
