Hey everyone, still looking into this material and I have to say it is a hard material to search when it comes to sustainablity. I have found a link though that had some idea what exactly coconut palm is used for and where it is used the most. Check it out.

Wouldn't Imagine it?


Over the past few years through my classes at Harrington, I have learned so much about the green movement and sustainable way to our future. I learned about the basics; cork, recycled plastics, bamboo, but just recently I come across a new material that i would never consider, and that is Coconut Palm as a sustainable material. Just finding out about it now I am very curious to learn more about it and why it is considered sustainable.
