WE LOOOOOVE CHOCOLATE
Hands off my chocolate, hands off our planet. We are all crazy about it: chocolate. But did you know that milk chocolate emits more than twice as much CO₂ as pork? We find that CHOC-ing – and that is why we do it differently.
At Hands Off we fight for chocolate the earth does not melt from. By replacing cow's milk with a plant-based alternative, the emissions of our No M!lk chocolate are far lower than those of 'ordinary' milk chocolate from the supermarket.
THE ROAD TO CHOCOLATE THE EARTH DOES NOT MELT FROM
1. Make chocolate plant-based
100% taste, 100% plant-based. And well… to make plant-based chocolate just as tasty as the cow's milk alternative, we developed a secret recipe! A glimpse behind the curtain? To make your choco cravings just as satisfying we add extra hazelnut praline for an extra rich taste and a creamy texture. Oh yes, we always have our products extensively tested so we know for sure it is super tasty chocolate. Fancy joining in sometime?

2. Take deforestation out of the chain
Besides cow's milk, cacao also has a major influence on CO₂ emissions. This is due to deforestation. That is why we buy traceable cacao wherever possible. That way we can make our chain transparent and fight deforestation.
3. Reduce & Restore more
To secure the future of our planet (and chocolate!), the CO₂ emissions of our chocolate (and the rest of the food industry) have to come down considerably. By switching to 100% plant-based chocolate we are on our way to reduce the CO₂ emissions of our products enormously. We're planning to take major steps in 2027 to reduce our emissions even further. So stay tuned!
OUR CO₂ FOOTPRINT
Together with CarbonCloud we calculated the CO₂ emissions of all our products and compared them with comparable products of Carboncloud's database.
The results? Here they are:
CHOCO CO₂ IMPACT METER
Sinds onze eerste vegan reep in 2021 hebben we al veel kg bespaard...
...en daar kan je aardig wat kilometers van autorijden, namelijk 807 keer de wereld rond!
MAKE AN IMPACT YOURSELF
In the Netherlands we eat an average of 4.5 kilos of chocolate per person! What if all of us switched to plant-based chocolate?
We did the maths for you. If you ate 4.5 kilos of plant-based chocolate in a year instead of choco with cow's milk, you would save 32.4 kilos of CO₂!
That is the equivalent of…
923 minutes under the shower. That is the same as showering 5 minutes a day for half a year!
72 chickenfilets of 125 grams. That is 2,5 months of eating chicken every day!
42 pieces of pork of 125 gram. That is one month of eating pork every day!
