Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Cocoboard is an innovative eco-friendly alternative to medium density fiberboards (MDF), crafted from coconut husks and natural adhesives. It addresses the negative impact of the furniture and construction industries by reducing reliance on non-renewable resources, offering 42% less carbon footprint, and facilitating easier disposal at the end of its life cycle. Retaining the same processing methods as traditional wood panels, Cocoboard boasts higher mechanical properties, such as increased screw holding strength, natural resistance to termites, and higher water and fire resistance, while being competitively priced. By effectively utilizing a plentiful agricultural byproduct, Cocoboard not only addresses the waste problem associated with coconut husks but also meets the urgent demand for environmentally responsible materials in a market transitioning towards sustainability, while uplifting the lives of coconut farmers, who remain the poorest in the agricultural sector.
