Problem
The furniture and interior architecture industries rely heavily on traditional wood products, contributing to deforestation and environmental degradation. Conventional wood panels often contain formaldehyde-based resins, which can emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pose health risks.
Solution
NaturLoop offers Cocoboard®, a sustainable bio-based panel made from upcycled coconut husk fibers, providing a viable alternative to traditional wood. The panels are bonded with a non-toxic resin, achieving E0 grade for formaldehyde emissions, ensuring minimal VOC release and a healthier indoor environment. Cocoboard® is designed for use in furniture and interior architecture, offering comparable mechanical properties to wood while minimizing environmental impact and promoting circular economy principles. The material can be processed using standard woodworking tools and coating systems, making it a user-friendly and sustainable choice for manufacturers and designers.
Target Audience
Furniture manufacturers, interior designers, architects, and construction companies seeking sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional wood panels are the primary customers.
