Sustainability
Sustainability at Unicoconut means working every day to reduce waste, protect the planet, and empower the communities we call home.
Zero Waste Philosophy
- Shells are converted into biomass fuel or processed into activated carbon and eco-friendly products.
- Husks are processed into coir fiber and peat for use in agriculture and home goods.
- Coconut water, when not suitable for bottling, is repurposed as natural fertilizer or used in fermentation.
- Press cake from oil extraction is turned into high-protein animal feed.
Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency
To reduce our carbon footprint:
We power part of our operations using biomass boilers fueled by coconut waste.
Solar panel installations on factory rooftops help lower grid electricity consumption.
Energy-efficient machinery and smart process design have cut energy use across departments.
Responsible Water Management
- Rainwater harvesting systems for non-potable uses.
- On-site wastewater treatment plants to recycle process water.
- Continuous monitoring to reduce water usage during cleaning, washing, and processing.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
- We use biodegradable and recyclable materials wherever possible.
- Our design approach emphasizes minimal ink use and lightweight packaging.
- We encourage bulk and refillable packaging options for large-scale buyers.
Unicoconut has changed my life. They pay fairly, respect our traditions, and help us farm in a more sustainable way. I’m proud our coconuts reach the world.
