The project Organico utilizes traditional and renewable resources for the development of a new,
innovative material. An adhesive, composed of calcium hydroxide and casein, is used to press hemp
fibers and shives into solid forms. Through extensive research, the optimal composition and structure
was developed: a sandwich material with a cover of hemp fiber and a core of hemp shives, that is
simultaneously stable and light.
CocoPallet produces 100% bio-based, durable transportation pallets out of recycled coconut husk
waste. The process used by CocoPallet is cheaper than using wood and they don’t require the highly
toxic methyl-bromide fumigation that some countries still use in wood pallet manufacturing. They also
don’t require any glue because the coconut husk has its own natural glue called lignin. This natural
glue is activated when they grind the coconut husk and press them together at high temperatures. It’s
estimated that CocoPallet saves more than 200 million trees from being chopped down every year.
Since shipping pallets are used all around the world, it’s no surprise.
