The Versatile Power of Coco Husk: A Sustainable Resource
Sri Lanka is home to some of the world’s finest coconuts, and at ALE, we transform every part of the coconut into valuable, eco-friendly products. One of the most valuable byproducts of coconuts is the husk, which is often discarded. However, at ALE, we believe in sustainable practices, and we have found innovative ways to repurpose this natural material into high-quality coco products.
Coco Husk: The Foundation of Our Eco-Friendly Products
The coco husk, which consists of fibrous material, is used to create a range of products that are not only eco-friendly but also versatile. The most popular products made from coco husk include:
- Coco Peat: A natural, biodegradable material used in horticulture and agriculture to improve soil structure, enhance water retention, and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.
- Coco Fiber: A durable, sustainable material used in a variety of industries, from erosion control to mattresses and brushes.
- Coco Chips: Ideal for improving soil aeration and drainage, making them perfect for gardening and landscaping.

The Uses and Benefits of Coco Products
- Coco Peat: Widely used as a soil conditioner in gardening and agriculture, coco peat improves soil aeration, moisture retention, and root growth. It is also a renewable alternative to peat moss, which is often harvested unsustainably.
- Coco Fiber: Due to its natural durability, coco fiber is used in a variety of products, from erosion control mats to eco-friendly mattresses, where it serves as a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials.
- Coco Chips: Coco chips are an excellent addition to gardening projects as they help improve soil drainage and provide a natural mulch that can help conserve moisture and prevent weed growth.
