Materials

Every year billions of coconuts are harvested for their water and white meat - unfortunately 99% of coconut shells go to waste. We reclaim these waste coconut shells and turn them into a resource. We also source small pieces of wooden offcuts and work with local artisans to handcraft them into our spoons, forks, knives and chopsticks leaving next to no waste behind!
Shipping
View all
Through our partnership with Cool Effect, we offset all of the carbon created from shipping our products from the farm to your front door. By choosing to have localised warehouses in our major business regions we are able to transport Coconut Bowls by sea rather than air. While it takes longer to arrive, the carbon emissions from ocean freight are minuscule compared with air freight.
socially
View all
To us social sustainability starts with our connection to real people. We are committed to paying our artisans a minimum of 30% above ETI base code, creating healthy working spaces and ensuring gender equality. Stability, equality and safety at work are not privileges, they are the foundation our business has been built upon.
Packaging
View all
We use sustainable packaging, reusable boxes, recyclable and compostable paper in all our packaging. Our Coco Community can rest assured that when they’re unboxing our products the experience is never tarnished by excessive amounts of non-recyclable, environmentally endangering single use plastics. From our farms to our factories, and all the way to your kitchen, we invite you on our journey to becoming 100% plastic free.
