WHAT IS COCOPEAT?
• The outer shell surrounding the coconut is the raw material of cocopeat.

• Today, these fibers are used as a material in textiles, hats, rust, brushes, ropes, ropes, nets, automobile seats, and ground cover in the fight against erosion, except for agriculture and horticulture.
• In addition, service prices, purchase, license bits are distributed to all world markets.
Chemical and Structural Properties
- • It consists of 100% organic matter.
• Contains 31% “Lignin”.
