100% Natural, Biodegradable
Corozo buttons are made from natural Tagua nuts that are biodegradable in soil. Support using Corozo buttons to reduce microplastic debris into our ocean and to reduce our landfill burden created by non-degradable polyester buttons & trims.
1
Renewable & Sustainably Sourced Raw Material
Tagua nuts are harvested from the ground once the Tagua fruit matures and naturally falls off the palm trees, therefore, trees are left unharmed and can continue to bear fruit year round.
2
Vegan,
No Animal Cruelty
Other natural materials like Horn or Shell buttons may deem more exotic, but they are acquired from by-products of animal and marine life (eg. buffalos and mollusks). Alternatively, Corozo buttons are plant based, renewable resources that add a greater value in sustainable development than any other button material.
3
Strong & Durable
Under the microscope, the material is made up of many interwoven cellular fibres. It is this attribute that allows Corozo buttons to be so strong and scratch resistant.
4
Dyeable in Many Colours
Tagua is a very porous material that allows dyes to absorb deep within its surface. Dyes greatly enhance its natural grain patterns that are unique to each button. It is this distinctive organic pattern that people grew to adore.
5
Non-Toxic, Childsafe
Our Corozo buttons are Oeko-Tex 100 certified and are toxic free, made safe for skin and children.
6
Help Conserve the Rainforests & Our Future!
Designers and buyers choosing Corozo Button for their apparel will greatly impact towards the conservation of the rainforest. A higher demand for Corozo buttons will not only provide forest dwellers and local communities a more sustainable and viable income, but it can also become the economic alternative to large scale deforestation for agricultural land development. Your decision in choosing Corozo will incentivize locals to cherish and protect the palms for its natural resources, thus allowing forests to continue nourishing the surrounding biodiversity, slow down climate change, and purify the air we breathe.
