Pandanus / Wild Pineapple Coffin

Although similar in looks to a Seagrass coffins that’s where the similarity ends. The production of Seagrass coffins is taking away vital foodstuff from nursery fish, and causing costal erosion where the plant is harvested. These Pandanus coffins are made from a wild growing pineapple plant and manufactured in a Fair Trade factory in Indonesia. The Pandanus is manufactured using the young leaves of the wild pineapple plant which naturally regenerate.
