Marmoleum Cocoa

Marmoleum Cocoa is different. The cocoa husks in its surface come from food production — a genuine cross-industry waste material collected from cocoa processing in De Zaanstreek, the Dutch region where Forbo’s Marmoleum factory has operated for generations. The husks are collected, finely ground, and embedded into the Marmoleum surface, creating a unique natural granular texture.
