About Us
Story of NICO
Established in 2019, PT. Natural Indococonut Organik (NICO) strongly believes that coconut is one of nature’s most unique nutritious foods.
Our products are made from natural ingredients. Nature is the foundation of our company. Since coconuts are extremely versatile, we try to take advantage of every part of it and develop valuable products that can be useful to our customers.
Coconuts are commonly used to produce coconut milk and coconut water. However, other parts of coconuts are wasted since not many people know how to utilize them. Out of approximately 50 billion coconuts harvested worldwide, around 85% of the shells are wasted.
In order to reduce waste and pollution caused by burning coconut waste, we are utilizing coconut shells and coconut husks as a resource for our high-quality products. For example, we use coconut shells to produce coconut charcoal briquette and we also produce coconut husk that can further be used as material to produce doormats, brooms, etc.
