About

The CocoPallet project buys coconut husk waste that is otherwise burned or dumped from farmer cooperatives in vast quantities to prevent wood cutting for one way export pallets (1.7 billion pallets/ year in Asia alone) . At the end of the supply chain the CocoPallets can be milled and used as soil improver to replace peat moss in a fully circular way as the product is 100% natural. CocoPallet works now with several major multinationals to reduce their Carbon footprint while reducing costs. We advocate paying farmers a fair price for their products to keep farming interesting now and for future generations. Our biomimicry inspired designed CocoPallets are lighter and stronger as we learn from shapes and surfaces in nature.
