We transform coconut husk waste into high-performance, eco-friendly insulation. We create affordable solutions that lower energy consumption, reduce waste, and bolster local economies in tropical climates. Through innovation and responsible sourcing, we are dedicated to empowering communities and building a greener future in construction.
revolutionizing sustainable building
Using the natural properties of coconut fibers, Kokus panels are designed to provide superior thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and structural durability—all while showcasing an organic aesthetic that enhances any space. Kokus is more than a product; it’s a solution tailored to the unique demands of hot-humid climates, offering a sustainable alternative that meets modern construction needs without compromising on cost or quality.
Why KOKUS?
Kokus is ideal for walls, panels, and insulation. Our manufacturing process is simple, scalable, and eco-friendly, using a natural binder and minimal processing to maintain a low carbon footprint. The unique qualities of coconut fibers—low thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, and resilience—make Kokus panels functional and visually appealing, allowing designers to incorporate sustainable, organic materials into projects. By repurposing coconut waste, Kokus promotes circular economy principles, offering a high-value, eco-friendly solution specifically crafted for regions with high cooling demands.
OUR IMPACT
In hot-humid climates, many current insulation and energy efficiency solutions rely on energy-intensive cooling systems, driving up operational costs and environmental impact. Common construction materials like concrete and sandcrete trap heat, further increasing cooling demands. While some builders use synthetic insulation materials, these options are often costly, non-biodegradable, and have limited durability in humid conditions. In some cases, local builders turn to natural materials, but these typically lack the durability, moisture resistance, and multifunctionality needed for modern, sustainable construction.
Kokus provides a dual impact: environmental and social. Environmentally, Kokus reduces the carbon footprint of construction materials by repurposing agricultural waste and lowering energy consumption in buildings through thermal efficiency. Studies on coconut-based insulation have shown that these materials can achieve significant thermal performance benefits, with potential energy savings of up to 529.14 kWh annually in tropical regions, as demonstrated in recent research. By upcycling coconut husk waste, we divert biomass from landfills or incineration, reducing waste and promoting a sustainable lifecycle.
