Coir is green business
By Barunkumar Bhowmick
Above advertisement, published on the World Environment Day – June 5 with the following slogans, makes us thinking. Use coir and coir mats which replace one million tonnes of plastic every year.
Save water - use coir pith.
Save soil - use coir geotextiles.
Save trees - use coir ply board. Coir Board is a statutory body established by the Government of India under a legislation enacted by the Parliament namely Coir Industry Act, 1953 (45 of 1953) for the promotion and development of Coir Industry in India as a whole. Its purpose is to provide a one-stop information resource on coir industry to all entrepreneurs dealing with coir and coir products. Coir is a natural fibre extracted from husk of the coconut, with or without retting. It is highly stretchable, durable, strong and unaffected by moisture and dampness. It has been traditionally used in the making of ropes and mats. Also used in making carpets, fibre, pith/peat, rubberised coir, matting, yarn, curled coir, geo-textiles, rugs etc. Coir pith is used in nurseries and floriculture farming, mainly due to its water retention quality for a longer period. Rubberised coir is a coir pad sprayed with rubber latex or with natural rubber which bonds the fibres together to be used as upholstery padding and packaging. Based on the quality of fibre used, coir yarn is available in different forms for various industrial and agricultural purposes. More information on: www.coirboard.nic.in |
