Our vision

Why upcycling?

With upcycling, we give plastic waste a new value by processing it into new products in our local factories in Nicaragua, Ghana and India.

In this way, we create a recycling infrastructure in regions where none previously existed and contribute to the creation of important jobs.

We are currently looking for B2B partners who are interested in placing large orders for our products. These partnerships will enable us to cover our operating costs in the long term and make our activities financially independent.

Pavé Chocolate - 100g

Rs. 19.95

Production

Pavé Chocolate is produced by hand from vegan ingredients by the St. Jakob Foundation in Zurich's Kreis 5 district. The social enterprise focuses on the integration of people with disabilities into working life and society. With your purchase, you enable market-driven jobs and apprenticeships in a social environment.

With self-imposed principles, Stigtung St. Jakob also ensures fair working and production conditions in the global South. Fair wages above the Fairtrade level and a high quality of the processed cocoa are part of this. As recommended by the WWF, they use RSPO- or POIG-certified, sustainable palm oil. Wherever possible, they source their ingredients from Switzerland.
