The coconut shell is the toughest component in a coconut fruit, which is situated between the coconut husk and flesh. These shells are dense, durable, and have enhanced brittleness, which makes the process of turning them into activated carbon or powders much easier. There are a lot of coconut shells that are discarded as agricultural waste, but these can be used again in various forms.
