Coco Fiber, more commonly referred to as Coir, is a natural fibrous material found between the internal shell and outer coat of a coconut.  As environmental and economic concerns have grown, so has the use of Coco Fiber. White fiber comes from young coconuts and is mostly used to make ropes and fishing nets since the younger fiber is more resistant to salt water. The brown fiber comes from mature coconuts that have a layer of lignin deposited in the cellulose walls of the fiber during its maturation, which darkens its appearance and makes the fiber resistant to rotting. 

Extracting the Fiber :

• Coir Fiber has been an important source of revenue particularly for India and Sri Lanka which currently produce 90% of the world supply and well over 250,000 tons. With the demand for coco fiber rapidly escalating, newer technology is being researched to process its extraction.  
• Mature coconut trees produce 50-100 coconut fruit per year and they are harvested by collecting once fallen, workers climbing up the trees to remove and even trained monkeys to gather them.
• From there, depending on whether younger coconuts or mature coconuts go through a process of soaking in salt water and/or fresh water for literally 6-10 months before being ready to harvest the fibers. It is a long and tedious process, but in India alone it provides work for over 500,000 people.

Benefits of Coir Fiber :
Thanks to the awakening regarding environmentally hazardous materials verses natural biodegradable products, coco fiber is exponentially growing in its popularity as well as the exploration of its many potential uses. Take a look at some amazing ways Coco Fiber is currently in use and is being explored in other industries

Rugs :
From doormat rugs, to area rugs, to shoe and boot scraper mats, Coco Fiber is growing in use because it is a natural fiber that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Due to coco fiber components that resist rotting, these can last for a very long time and manage to maintain a natural organic look for years.

Brushes :
Coir Fiber brushes were in existence long before we began making them out of plastic. Now that we recognize how hazardous plastic is to our environment, this natural fiber is making a huge comeback in the brush market. Strong bristled and durable, they last a long time and maintain the bristle structure no matter how hard you scrub.
