Not all compost is created equal. That’s why certification matters. 

What is Coir Compost?

A coir composite is a material made by reinforcing coir fibers with a polymeric matrix, such as phenolic resin or polyester, to create a stronger, more versatile material. These biocomposites combine the properties of the coir fiber (derived from coconut husks) with the matrix to form durable, sustainable products for applications in construction, furniture, automotive, and consumer goods, serving as an alternative to timber and plastics. 

How coir composites are made:
  1. Fiber Preparation:
    Coir fibers, typically extracted from coconut husks, are processed into a needle-felt form or other suitable structures. 
  2. Impregnation:
    The coir fibers are then impregnated with a polymer resin (e.g., phenolic, polyester, or epoxy). 
  3. Hot-Pressing:
    The impregnated material is subjected to controlled temperature and pressure under a hot compression molding machine to form the final composite. 
Key Properties and Advantages:
  • Sustainable: Coir is a natural, renewable resource, making coir composites an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials. 
  • Enhanced Properties: The combination of coir fiber and a polymer matrix results in enhanced mechanical, thermal, and physical properties compared to the individual components. 
  • Versatility: Coir composites can be molded into various shapes and offer structural, acoustic, and surface paneling capabilities. 
  • Durability: Coir fibers are resistant to salinity and microbial degradation, contributing to the durability of the resulting composite. 
Applications:
  • Construction: Used for interior walls, false ceilings, doors, and structural components. 
  • Furniture: Applied in the manufacturing of furniture, cupboards, wardrobes, and tables. 
  • Consumer Goods: Found in products like gift articles, matting, and trays. 
  • Other Industries: Potential use in automotive, marine, aerospace, and wind energy sectors. 

What CCRI Means

The Central Coir Research Institute (CCRI) sets strict quality standards for coir compost. When you see CCRI Certified, it means:

  • Balanced nutrient levels
  • Safe, pathogen-free material
  • Tested for soil health impact
Why Re-Coco Mitti+ Stands Out
  • Enriched with organic micro-nutrients
  • Improves soil fertility naturally
  • Holds water longer than ordinary compost
The Takeaway

Certified compost = trust, quality, and results you can see. With Re-Coco Mitti+, you’re not just feeding plants, you’re improving soil for generations.
