COCO PEAT

Besides the high oil content of the endosperm ( copra) , which is widely used in both food and non-food industries ( e.g. margarine and soaps) , the palm yields husks, shells, leaves and the stem which are used domestically as raw materials for many products from fuel to building materials. Traditionally, the fiber of the husks ( coir) has been processed into a range of products such as yarns for the production of floor coverings, mats, cordage and nets, bristle fibers for brooms and brushes, and for use with domestic mattress and upholstery industries. These markets have been dwindling in recent years due to strong competition from synthetic products.
However, there is a firm trend in industrial countries towards the production and use of more environmentally benign products and systems, which may help to mitigate the adverse ecological affects of current production methods. The effects of industrialization such as atmospheric degradation, global warming, fast-declining natural resource base, deforestation, pollution and others have increased the demand for environmentally benign products. Renewable raw materials such as plant fibers and products, therefore, have good market perspectives if they can be produced at an economically competitive price and on a scale where quality and supply can be guaranteed. Currently, expanding export markets for coir can be seen for erosion control mats, heat-, cold- and noise insulation mats, other geo-textile applications for civil engineering, or in the demand from the automotive and mattress industries for rubberized coir pads.
As a by-product of coir fiber extraction large quantities of pith are obtained. Recently, coir pith has gained commercial interest as a substitute for peat moss in horticultural substrate cultivation. Low susceptibility to biodegradation and a highly porous structure enables coir pith to absorb large volumes of water ( more than 50 per cent by weight) , which makes it highly suitable in a potting mixture. The penetration of coir pith into markets for horticultural and garden substrates is gaining interest.
Coconuts shells can be utilized for the commercial production of charcoal. Carbonization of one ton of coconut shells produces of the order 300 kg of charcoal, which can be converted into 120 kg of activated carbon. The combustion of waste gases can be utilized to enhance the efficiency of the processes and to generate power. The marketing of activated carbon as filter material, absorbent and similar uses can be increased substantially if controlled processing and product certification are available. An alternative domestic application for charcoal is as fuel for cooking or for drying agricultural products.
Our sister company PT. Palmaguna Intinusa has fast coconut-tree plantations and engages in controlled processing of coir, pith, charcoal, activated carbon, copra and related products in East Java, Indonesia.
