Every briquette we ship starts as a by-product that used to be thrown away: the shell of a mature coconut, left over after the flesh has been taken for copra and oil. Nothing is cut down to make it.
The shells are first carbonised in kilns, driving off moisture and volatile matter until only carbon remains. The raw charcoal is then milled into a fine powder, mixed with a natural binder, and pressed into shape, whether cube, hexagonal, dome, or stick.
After pressing, the briquettes are dried, sorted by size, and packed for export. Loaded 18 to 28 tonnes per container, with the right documents prepared for the destination country, they leave Indonesian ports ready for buyers around the world.
