More info on coconut fiber

John Paul — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 11:24:47 -0500

Mars and Lucas, I know of a few other examples of coconut fibers being used in manufacturing. In Brazil, the Poverty and Environment in Amazonia Research and Development project (POEMA) formed an alliance with the DaimlerChrysler car company. Through research, POEMA identified the use of coconut fibers in automobile headrests as a viable product and developed a low-technology production method for use by local populations. The success of the pilot project led to the expansion of the program, and POEMA created POEMAtec Fibras Naturalis da Amazonia (Amazon Natural Fibers), an independent company that works in partnership with POEMA. The WBCSD has a good case study about the business at 11511...

Also in Brazil, Ouro Fértil is a specialist in coconut fiber products. The company's unique technology and processing of coconut fiber has allowed it to penetrate market niches in the automobile industry (car seats cushions & interior car panels for soundproofing), the furniture industry (filler for mattresses, chairs and sofas), and in reforestation operations (tubes for eucalyptus and pine seedlings). More details at a-ltda...

Alibaba has an extensive list of coconut fiber products and industries at http://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/ID-suppliers/Coconut_Fiber.html, and for a background of the coconut fiber manufacturing process check out http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Coir.html
