According to encyclopedia Britannica Coir or Coconut fiber is a rough, strong, rubbery substance obtained from the outer husk of the coconut.

In the past coconut husk was considered a waste product and was discarded after coconuts were harvested for their juice and meat, until it was discovered how useful it is.

There are 2 types of fibers that make up the coir – brown and white. Brown fiber comes from mature coconuts an is stronger but less flexible whereas white fibers come from pre-ripe coconuts and are more flexible but less strong.

Let’s dive into a bit of history of coconut fibers, it is well known that ropes and cords have been made from coconut fiber since the ancient times Because Indian navigators who sailed the seas to Malaya, Java, China, and the Gulf of Arabia centuries ago used coir for their ship ropes.
Arab writers of the 11th century AD stated the extensive use of coir for ship ropes and rigging.

Coconut fiber has many modern day uses as well as being used by sailors in the ancient times, some of these applications are:

• Cordage
• Packaging
• Bedding
• Flooring

also it is used in disciplines such as agriculture and horticulture and it is used in oil and fluid absorption due to it’s superior absorbent qualities (used in farms for animal waste absorption).
