Sniffing Glue, Italian Style
Date: March 26, 2008 | Category: Lifestyle, Office, The Home, Travel
For a committed greenie, it’s the simple things that are often the most challenging. It can be difficult to find ‘everyday’ products that meet ecofabulous standards. Using toxic adhesives is so icky. We love Coccoina, an Italian school and office staple since 1927. Perfect for kid projects and anything archival – photo albums and crafting – Coccoina is non-solvent, non-toxic and acid free. Made from potato starch and almond oil and scented like marzipan, Coccoina is tempting to sniff and almost good enough to eat (but don’t do it…almonds are so fattening). We have long stuck with Coccoina because it works, but the design benefits don’t end there. It has that nostalgic beauty that designers adore and is available in a tin or a tube.
