Why Coco Peat Is a Sustainable Alternative to Peat Moss
Coco peat is a renewable by-product of coconut harvesting, while peat moss is dug from slow-forming peatlands. Coco peat re-wets easily, holds water and air, and can be composted after use.
Eco-Friendly Growing
Preserving Ecosystems Through Renewable Coir Production
Unlike peat moss, which is harvested from slow-forming peatlands releasing ancient carbon stores, coco peat is harvested from a 100% renewable fruit resource. Coconut palms regenerate coconuts naturally multiple times a year, providing an endless, sustainable yield without damaging valuable wetlands.
