A truly zero waste process
Charcoal CRUSH™ is made from small fragments leftover from the production of charcoal, used for cooking and heating. But there's a bigger story...
The charcoal is made from 100% sustainably harvested oak. More specifically - upcycled oak offcuts; leftovers from the production of cleft oak fencing.
The oak is transformed into charcoal. Any small charcoal pieces, where are not suitable for cooking, are collected into bags by hand and rolled in a ball mill to break up the particles. The particles are then sieved to size grade.
Any remaining leftovers from the sieving process are used for animal feed (which aids digestion), ensuring that absolutely nothing goes to waste.
