Auric and Our Commitment to Sustainability - Coconut Bowls and Spoons

Auric coconut bowls

In today’s lifestyle of convenience, versatility, and quick consumption, we often tend to neglect our planet and its environment. An essential element of this is the use of plastic in our day to day lives. From plastic carry bags to the packaging our food comes in, plastic use has significantly increased in the past few years. According to a National Geographics Report published in 2018, 40% of plastic produced is single-use plastic, used only once, and discarded immediately. 

Sustainability is essential for a healthy environment and planet, and when it comes to eating sustainably, packaging is not the only thing that matters. The cutlery and containers are also equally important. If you are someone who is conscious about the environment and wants to take steps towards a sustainable future, then the organic coconut bowls and spoons by Auric are just the right fit for you. 

What are Coconut Bowls?

Coconut Bowls are eating bowls that are made from coconut shells. You can serve and eat your food straight out of the coconut bowl using our coconut spoons, as these organic coconut bowls are safe to use and are smoothened to make them easy to use. Similarly, the coconut spoons are also smoothened to make them safe and easy to handle. 

The coconut bowls and spoons are sustainable because they are made by using discarded coconut shells. Instead of throwing away or burning coconut shells, artisans use coconut shells to make these incredible coconut bowls and spoons. This practice helps in the conservation of natural resources without particularly harming the environment, as traditionally, the discarded coconuts are burned to make space for new crops, which leads to an increase in CO2 and methane levels in the atmosphere. 


These coconut bowls and coconut shell spoons have helped eliminate the excess emissions that were the result of the burning. 

How are Coconut Bowls and Coconut Shell Spoons made?

The process of making the coconut bowls and coconut spoons involves zero wastage and complete sustainability. The coconut bowls and coconut spoons are made with zero plastics, chemicals, or toxins. The coconut bowls and spoons are also BPA-free and easy to use, handle, and hold. 


First, the harvesting of coconuts takes place. Harvesting involves climbing up the coconut tree with either a ladder or a rope tied around the climber’s ankles. Once the climber reaches the top, he checks if the coconut is mature or not and then cuts off the base for the most suitable stalk. 

Next, the coconut is de-husked by a mechanical iron rod device and then split into two parts. The water in the coconut is collected and stored for drinking purposes as it is highly nutritious. The next step is removing the coconut pulp with a knife, after which the coconut shells are cleaned, cut and smoothened. Some organic coconut bowls at Auric are left natural to bring out their natural colours and goodness. 

Each coconut bowl and spoon is unique with its unique cracks, dents, and naturalness.
