Behind the bricks: a story of authenticity and sustainable choices

Share This Post

At Coir Products by Salike®, we take pride in the quality of our products and the positive impact we make on the communities who help bring coir to life. Every coir brick, potting mix, and pot comes with a story—a story of the dedicated farmers and local communities who cultivate, harvest, and process this sustainable resource. Our commitment to ethical sourcing and community support is at the heart of our brand, reinforcing our mission to foster not only sustainable gardening practices but also a global community of growers. Our products are crafted in Sri Lanka, where the raw materials are available.

The roots of our coir

The journey of coir begins in regions where coconut palms thrive. Farmers in these areas harvest the coconut husks that yield coir—a versatile, renewable material that has gained popularity worldwide as a sustainable gardening solution. At CoirProducts by Salike®, we work directly with coir producers who follow ethical practices, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect for traditional farming methods that have been passed down through generations.

Our relationships with these communities are based on mutual respect and support. By choosing ethical suppliers, we’re not only securing the highest quality coir but also contributing to economic stability in these regions. This approach ensures that our supply chain is more than just sustainable—it’s socially responsible.

Empowering farmers and their communities

Many of the communities involved in coir production rely on farming as their primary source of income. At CoirProducts, we invest in these communities, providing resources and support that go beyond business transactions. We’re proud to help fund local initiatives that improve education, healthcare, and infrastructure, empowering farmers to thrive both economically and socially.

Our commitment to ethical production and sourcing means that we consider the well-being of people throughout our supply chain. When you choose our products, you’re not only choosing high-quality, eco-friendly materials but also supporting the livelihoods of families and communities who dedicate their lives to sustainable coir farming.
