Bicolano creates unique product from waste

Justino Arboleda, former dean of the Bicol University College of Agriculture with a doctorate in agricultural engineering from Tokyo University designed and built a decorticating machine that extracts fibers from coconut husks. These fibers are then further processed into eco-friendly by-products such as erosion control nets, mattresses and garden products like coir blocks, coco chips, coco pots, plant hangers, and coco crumble.

Wonders from Coco Husk

Based in mostly rural communities, the cocofiber industry promises to be a sustainable approach to environmental management and economic development.  Coconut farmers and their families along with the previously unemployed will continue to benefit from entrepreneurial activities that convert trash into treasure.
