Coir is a biodegradable organic fibre material which is coarse, rigid and strong. The constituents of coir have been found to be mostly cellulose and lignin. Coir fibre is weather resistant and resistant to fungal and bacterial decomposition. The rate of decomposition of coir is much less than any other natural fibre. These characteristics are attributed due to the high lignin content in the fibre. Coir in the form of woven mesh mattings or non woven stitch bonded blankets are used in engineering applications in the geotechnical field. Geotextiles, one among geosynthetics like geogrids, geonets, geomats, geocomposites etc. used in civil engineering applications are polymeric. These products have a long life and do not undergo biological degradation, but are liable to create environmental problems in the long run. Due to growing awareness to preserve environment, use of biodegradable natural material has gained popularity. The natural fibre, coir, which has been used in geotextiles for the past 20 years, has already proved its worth. While geosynthetics dominate all spheres of application, the natural organic fibre, coir have now proved their mettle to match with geosynthetics.
