100%
Renewable
We are happy to contribute positively towards the environment by capturing a byproduct from coconut farming and reintroducing it into the economy. Coconut Coir Fiber and Coir Pith/Coco Peat uses coconut husks as the raw material. Coconut husks are left over protective covering that covers the edible portion of the coconut.
Located in a rich coconut belt with plenty of local farms to source, we tap into a natural byproduct that is 100% renewable.

Low Carbon
Footprint
Our products are produced in a green and sustainable way using natural drying and aging processes resulting in a low carbon footprint. Further, Coco Peat is a natural alternative that can prevent destruction of peat bogs, a valuable carbon sink. We recognize there may be a few sustainable peat operations. However, we encourage the use of an alternative such as Coconut Peat when practical.
“The London-based Royal Horticultural Society, the largest gardening organization of its kind in the world, has reduced peat use by 97 percent at its four major gardens and urges its members to follow its lead”. Washington Post, 2017.
