Every year on World Nature Conservation Day, celebrated on 28th July, we are reminded of the urgent need to protect and preserve our planet’s natural resources. At CoirProducts.co.uk®, sustainability isn’t just a value—it’s at the core of everything we do. From the way we source our raw materials to the products we offer, we’re committed to helping growers, gardeners, and green thinkers cultivate a more earth-conscious future.
Our products are made from coir, the fibrous husk of coconuts—a renewable byproduct of the coconut industry that would otherwise go to waste. By using what nature already provides, we support a zero-waste approach to growing. Unlike peat-based alternatives, which contribute to the destruction of carbon-rich peatlands and biodiversity loss, coir is peat-free, biodegradable, and naturally regenerative.
Whether you’re a hobby gardener or a commercial grower, choosing coir means reducing your environmental impact without compromising on performance. Our coir chips, grow bags, coir pots, and potting mixes offer excellent water retention, aeration, and root health, making them a sustainable solution that also supports healthy plant development.
Healthy soil leads to healthy ecosystems. Our coir products enhance soil structure and retain moisture without the use of synthetic additives or harmful chemicals. This makes them safe not just for plants and the people, but also pollinators, and the wider environment. By reducing the need for chemical inputs and improving soil health, coir supports biodiversity above and below ground.
We partnered company work with local communities in Sri Lanka – where our products are produced – ensuring ethical sourcing practices and fair working conditions. By doing so, we promote not just environmental sustainability, but social and economic resilience in the regions we operate.
World Nature Conservation Day is a reminder that every choice we make as growers has the potential to affect the planet. By switching to coir-based products, you’re joining a growing movement of people who are choosing to tread lightly and grow responsibly.
At CoirProducts, we’re proud to be part of that change—championing sustainable agriculture and helping you grow in harmony with nature.
Let’s make every growing day a step toward conservation.
