Former Cadbury employee starts eco-chocolate company in Bristol

A new chocolate company which uses fully recyclable packaging has recently launched in Bristol and is now stocked in several shops in the city. Joel Manuvelpillai spent years working for Cadbury before co-founding his own kitchen to make his own chocolate with a more environmentally-friendly model.

The new chocolate company Goüter uses leftover bread that gets cut up and toasted to mix into crunchy clusters of chocolate. He claims that his chocolate is the first in the UK to have 'zero carbon' packaging.

Mr Manuvelpillai said: “I spent 15 years working for Cadburys. But I had enough. I quit because they weren’t doing enough for the environment. The things that big corporations do are not really straightforward, it’s more about making profit."
