5 Everyday Products You Can Replace with Coconut-Based Alternatives

Plastic is everywhere — in your garden, kitchen, and even in your cushions. But with Re-Coco, swapping them out is easy. Everyday products that we commonly use at home, in gardening, or for packaging can easily be replaced with coir-based alternatives, making our lifestyle more eco-friendly. Instead of plastic pots and seed trays, coir pots and seedling cups provide a biodegradable and breathable option that is healthier for plants. For cleaning and household use, coir scrubbers, brushes, and brooms can replace plastic ones, while coir mats, carpets, and cushion fillings serve as sustainable substitutes for synthetic materials. In packaging, coir blocks and sheets can replace thermocol, and coir ropes or boards offer natural alternatives to plastic ropes and synthetic boards. Even in furniture and bedding, coir mattresses and composites provide comfort and durability without harming the environment. By adopting these replacements, we not only reduce plastic waste but also support sustainable living through a renewable, biodegradable, and durable material like coir.
