In orientation testing to European standards EN 13823 / EN 13501, Cocoboard® achieved a C-s1, d0 fire reaction rating — meaning limited contribution to fire, very little smoke, and no flaming droplets.

No, Cocoboard® is not waterproof, but it has high moisture resistance. It is not suited for outdoor use, and in high-moisture environments, we recommend sealing the surface with a suitable coating system.

Yes, Cocoboard® has a smooth surface compatible with all coating systems. It also absorbs 30% less coating than conventional MDF, making finishing more efficient.

Currently, Cocoboard® is available only in its natural brown colour. We’re exploring natural pigments for future colour options, but you can stain it with standard coating systems.

Cocoboard® can be used for furniture (tabletops, cabinets, shelves) and interior architecture (partitions, decorative panels, ceilings, trim). As a medium-density panel, it’s also suitable for smaller products like speaker boxes or jewellery boxes.

Cocoboard® has a lower carbon footprint than conventional fiberboards because its raw material, coconut husk, already contains usable fibers, reducing processing energy. Its bio-based resin is made from renewable plant materials, avoiding the high energy use of synthetic resins.

Many conventional panels release formaldehyde, a chemical linked to health risks. Cocoboard® uses a 100% bio-based adhesive and has extremely low emissions, far below strict European safety limits — meaning cleaner indoor air and a healthier environment.

We have established a coconut husk processing center in the Philippines to organize raw material collection and pre-process the materials prior to being produced into panels.

The natural resin we use is our own specific formulation. The substances to create the mixture, such as tannin extracts, are sourced from barks coming from South Africa and South America.

Buying coconut husks from farmers to upcycle provides additional income streams to farming communities. Even though small-scale applications such as nets, ropes, and mattresses make use of coconut fiber, the demand continues to be minimal and the majority of coconut husks (about 90–95%) are left in farms to burn or rot.

A cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment shows that transporting raw material for European production accounts for only 10–20% of total carbon emissions.

Each 2440 × 1220 × 19 mm Cocoboard® panel contains the husks of about 100 coconuts that have been upcycled into a high-performance, sustainable material.

Cocoboard® is fully bio-based. We’re currently testing its biodegradability and compostability under various conditions.

We are actively exploring ways to extend Cocoboard®’s life cycle and keep it out of waste streams. Potential uses include breaking it down and upcycling it into grow bags for planting, converting it into biochar to improve soil nutrition, recycling it into particleboard, or collecting and repurposing it into new furniture. The baseline for most panel products at end-of-life is burning in an incineration plant, so these alternatives can help reduce emissions and waste.
