The Angamally-based non-government organisation, Sevashram, is taking up production and marketing of cocolawn, a readymade lawn consisting of coir pith and grass. The environment-friendly product is being made at various units of the organisation. The technology is being offered to members of residents' organisations. A buyback arrangement has also been introduced as part of the marketing. The technology was developed by the Central Coir Research Institute, Alappuzha. The transfer of technology is being facilitated by the National Research Development Corporation. The spongy cellulose media having high water retention capacity, is ideal for growth of grass.
