Naturloop – Cocoboard® (Coconut Husk Bio-Board)
Description
1. The Material: Cocoboard® is a highly engineered bio-composite panel designed to replace traditional MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and particleboard. It is manufactured using the husks of coconuts—a tough, lignin-rich agricultural residue—bound together with a 100% bio-based, tannin-derived adhesive. This completely eliminates the need for Urea-Formaldehyde or Polyurethane (pMDI) resins, solving the severe indoor air quality (VOC) and end-of-life recycling issues associated with standard engineered woods.
2. The Company & The Story: Based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, Naturloop bridges the gap between tropical agriculture and high-end European bio-manufacturing. Millions of tons of coconut husks are burned or left to rot globally every year. Naturloop intercepts this massive waste stream, providing additional income to local farmers while creating a high-density, structural material for the architectural and furniture industries.
3. Technical & Commercial Summary: Cocoboard® is supplied as rigid panels for B2B applications in interior architecture, furniture design, cabinetry, and wall cladding. It machines, cuts, and routes similarly to traditional MDF but features a distinct, natural aesthetic and a significantly superior environmental profile. Because it contains no toxic glues, it can be milled safely without exposing workers to carcinogenic dust.
4. Features:
-
Zero Toxic Adhesives: Contains strictly zero Urea-Formaldehyde, Phenol-Formaldehyde, or Isocyanate (pMDI) binders. Relies on natural tannin-based bio-resins.
-
Agricultural Waste Valorization: Utilizes 100% upcycled coconut husks, preventing the burning of agricultural residue and requiring zero virgin timber harvesting.
-
Pristine Indoor Air Quality: Emits zero VOCs, ensuring exceptional indoor air quality for residential, healthcare, and educational interior fit-outs.
-
Circular End-of-Life: Because the matrix consists solely of natural fibers and bio-binders, the boards are naturally biodegradable and fully recyclable without acting as hazardous waste.
