Charcoal shards used for sustainable charcoal powder

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.
