Sowing for change with CoirProducts.co.uk coircoins with biodegradable cover

CoirProducts.co.uk coircoins are known for their high germination rates. But this is not the only special thing about them. Did you know that, since inception, our CoirProducts.co.uk coircoins have come with a completely biodegradable cover and in four distinct sizes? Read on to learn more. 

Coir-based growing media are made with the material extracted from the husk of the coconut. While this raw material that we source is completely natural and organic, from our inception at CoirProducts.co.uk, we have also paid close attention to the processes we follow in manufacturing our products, ensuring that there is minimal harm on people and the environment in the work we do. In doing so, what we strive to do is bring to you a product that is safe for you and the environment. 

CoirProducts.co.uk coircoins remain one of our most popular and unique products. Used for sowing, they are known for their high germination rates. Coir is also free of the more harmful peat-moss. Yet, what makes our CoirProducts.co.uk coircoins distinct is that they come complete with a biodegradable cover, making the product completely eco-friendly, compared to other such products found in the market that come with a non-biodegradable cover. 

And this is not wholly new either. 

With our founders having directly been in the industry for almost 20 years, through our parent company, we have been manufacturing and supplying our 100% natural and biodegradable coircoins for decades. Coircoins are made by compressing coir into pellets. The coircoins expand when water is added, with the biodegradable cover holding the coir together before, during, and after expansion. Early on in our operations manufacturing and supplying coircoins, we set about in search of a product that would be perfect for the eco-conscious grower, whether they were being used in nurseries, greenhouses, allotments, or gardens. Building on generations of tradition and knowledge, we worked closely with our manufacturing arm to carefully produce a cover that is made of polymer from corn starch, giving us a cover that is inherently biodegradable.
