If we talk about coir paper, it is manufactured from coir fiber waste collected from coconut industry or coir processing unit. Sometimes it also contains waste from the material used to make cardboard boxes. That is to say, the main raw material for its manufacture is purchased from the coconut industry or the processing unit, while the waste of the cardboard box can be received by the entrepreneur from the local market or even from the cardboard factory.

Due to its use as a raw material by the scrapbooks, artbooks, calendar, and photo frame manufacturing industries, this commodity also has industrial uses. As a result, the business owner beginning the Coir Paper Manufacturing Business will primarily serve these industrial facilities.

5. Start Coir Paper Manufacturing

First, both raw materials coir waste fiber and waste paper are put in a treatment pot, then water and other additives are added to make pulp from this material. After that this pulp mixture is spread on a mesh so that the water available in it goes down which enables it to form a sheet of paper. After that, these sheets of paper are laid on a woolen sheet.

After that the water is removed from these sheets with the help of a hydraulic press and these sheets are separated from the cloth and poured to dry in the sun. After drying in the coir paper manufacturing process, these sheets are passed between two heavy rollers followed by calendaring between two metal sheets to polish the paper or board. After that these sheets can be cut into the required size and sold to other industrial units.
