ETHICAL BENEFIT OF KAPOK

• Kapok trees are regenerative. They grow on hill slopes and impoverished land not suitable for agriculture. They only need natural resources such as rain and sun resulting in 100% positive impact on the environment.

• Kapok trees need no irrigation, no pesticides and no fertilizers.

• Kapok trees absorb about 400 times the Co2 of an average tree.

• Kapok fiber is vegan and biodegradable.

• Flocus™ Flocus generates an efficient eco-system which preserves water, supports poly-cropping, organically fertilises the terrain, saves agricultural land, avoids erosion and deforestation, reduces carbon and increases O2 in the atmosphere. It is completely sustainable and regenerative.
