Environmentally friendly Organic Chewing Gum
Chicza is the first organic chewing gum in the world. Only pure natural ingredients in organic quality are processed. Packed in an airtight cellulose foil which is obtained from a wooden pulp. Thus, the entire product is 100 % biodegradable.
The chewing gum revolution has its origins in Mexico. The home of organic chewing gum is the rainforest on the Yucatán Peninsula. Chicozapote trees grow for hundreds of years in the Maya populated area. Under their bark the latex sap for chewing gum is located. The chicleros are divided into cooperatives, a total of 56 groups with about 2,000 workers. The Fair Trade organic chewing gum improves the standard of living of the farmers. The harvest area is certified FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). The natural chewing gum is certified according to the EU organic guidelines.
The natural circle of life of Chicza Organic Rainforest Gum
Once it dries the organic gum disintegrates slowly into its components. Over time, the purely biological gum crumbles as wood or leaves in the forest. This is because the rainforest gum of natural rubber only is mixed with other natural ingredients.
Chicle has been existing for hundreds of years and is part of the tradition of the Maya. They already used chicle for dental care. The boiled latex sap should also be beneficial for digestion.
Of course, there is always a question of personal taste, which natural chewing gum you choose, but in terms of environmental friendliness the organic chewing gum is the clear winner. Sticky sidewalks and adhesive residue under the shoes would be a thing of the past, because the organic chewing gum is completely biodegradable.
