Corozo Buttons
Corozo is derived from the tagua palm seed, a renewable botanical resource known for its density and fine grain. Once dried and cured, corozo develops a hardness comparable to ivory, making it ideal for durable garment buttons. Unlike plastic, corozo is biodegradable, non-toxic, and petroleum-free.
While tagua is plant-based, precision processing is essential. At HornImpex, corozo buttons are cut, turned, drilled, dyed, and polished using a blend of modern machinery and skilled finishing. This ensures uniform sizing, clean drilling, and a refined matte or polished surface preferred by premium brands.
Corozo buttons are:
100% plant-based & vegan
Fully biodegradable
Plastic-free
Low-carbon compared to synthetic buttons
HornImpex follows responsible sourcing and zero-waste processing, aligning with global circular fashion and ESG initiatives.
