Nigeria has plenty of Agricultural waste products such as coconut fibre, rice husk, corn cob and oil palm frond fibre. If the waste cannot be disposed properly it, will lead to social and environmental problem.
The selection of coconut fibre in this study is a good effort in order to reduce a bulk of coconut fibre waste in Nigeria, according to a survey that was conducted by Ministry of Agricultural, Malaysia  (Hisbany, 2005). There will be a huge amount of waste with these huge plantations. Recycling the waste materials is one of the best methods with the intention of treating the Agricultural waste.
