What are Coco Coir Fibers?
Coco coir fibers are a natural cellulose fiber obtained from the coconut husk. After separating the shell and the coco coir, an additional process is done to separate the fibers from the coco peat dusts. Normally in coconut farming, the farmers focus on the coconut milk and meat of the fruit. the husks are discarded as waste, and laid out in the open to decompose. By using coconut husk by-products in gardening, a waste product is converted into an eco-friendly and sustainable product which generates an additional source of income for the local farmers.
