Upcycled Cacao Squares

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Packaging for CaPao Quinoa Squares Carries an Upcycled Certification

— October 27, 2021 — Eco
CaPao is on a mission to upcycle as much cacaofruit as it possibly can and its Quinoa Squares are a new addition to the brand's portfolio that combine upcycled cacaofruit with oats and puffed quinoa. The portable, stackable squares are said to be chewy yet crisp, as well as zesty and sweet, and they can be found in flavors like Coconut Oat, Ginger Berry and Almond Orange.

These new snacks set themselves apart with the first Upcycled Certified mark on its packaging from the Upcycled Food Association. Shannon Neumann, Association Director of SnackFutures innovation, says "Being able to communicate the mark on-pack is important to us because it's an opportunity to continue educating people on what upcycled means, why it matters, and how they can be part of reducing food waste and creating a snacking world that is good for people, kind to the planet and deliciously fun."
