ARE COCONUT BOWLS SUSTAINABLE?
We source all our products from sustainable and ethical sources with a mission to reduce, reuse and recycle.
By re-purposing something that would have otherwise been discarded or burnt we are actively making the planet healthier by saving thousands of coconut shells from being burnt and releasing CO2 and methane to the atmosphere.
We are quite literally taking waste from landfill and turning it into something reusable for many years to come.
HOW ARE COCONUT BOWLS MADE?
The vast majority of our coconuts come from coconut farms in Ben Tre Vietnam. After the flesh, husk and fibre has been harvested the coconut shell remains as a by-product. Because the shells had no use they were discarded as waste and often burnt in their millions.
For a coconut shell to be hard enough to use as a bowl, the coconuts must be mature and strong.

HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN COCONUT BOWL?
WHAT YOU NEED
- Coconut Shell
- Sandpaper – course and medium grit.
- Coconut Oil.
- Cloth
- Linseed Oil – or any food-safe lacquer (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Use sandpaper to sand the entire outside surface of the coconut shell until you get the desired effect.
- Work lightly if you don’t want to remove too much of the natural texture.
- Using a cloth, rub the inside and outside of the bowl with coconut oil. Coconut oil will seal and bring out the natural shine of the coconut bowl.
Note: The coconut shell will look darker after you apply coconut oil. - Let the coconut shell dry for 1 hour and apply coconut oil again.
- Optional – After your bowl is dry, brush some linseed oil on the outside of the bowl. You will need to repeat this step drying in between to 100% seal your coconut bowl.
