Shading Smarter This Earth Day: A Sustainable Style Upgrade for Outdoor Spaces
This Earth Day, let’s throw some serious shade — the sustainable way!
When it comes to creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces, not all shade solutions are created equal. Traditional plastic shade options are everywhere, but they come at a massive cost to our planet.
Did you know?
Every year, over 300 million tons of plastic are produced globally, and a staggering 91% of it isn't recycled.
That includes common materials used in mass-market outdoor shade products — tarps, polyester sails, and synthetic fabrics that don’t break down and often wind up in landfills, or worse, our oceans. On top of the environmental toll, these options rarely offer the aesthetic charm that design-lovers dream of.
So what’s the alternative?
The Beauty of Sustainable Shade
At Coco du Sol, we believe your outdoor space can be both functional and beautiful — without compromising the Earth. Our sustainable shade sails are crafted from eco-conscious materials that are designed to last, look gorgeous, and reduce your carbon footprint — all while creating stunning outdoor spaces that guests will fall in love with.
Made from 100% natural coconut fiber, handwoven in Indonesia using materials that would otherwise go to waste. No plastic. No greenwashing. Just strong, stunning fiber from sustainably harvested coconut husks.
Here’s why our sustainable shade is a game-changer:
🌿 Eco-Friendly Origins:
We use 100% natural coconut fiber, naturally sourced from sustainably grown coconut trees. We take the outer husks, which is normally a waste product, to create coconut fiber yarn for our shades — no heavy plastics or wasteful materials here.
✨ Elegance in Every Weave:
Our sails aren’t just practical — they’re beautiful. They turn ordinary spaces into design statements. Designed to blend in with and enhance your natural surroundings, our canopies cast soft, dappled light while adding organic texture to patios, pergolas, gardens and more.
💪 Built for the Long Haul:
Unlike plastic shades that tear, fade, and end up in the landfill after a few seasons, our sails are engineered for durability — meaning less waste, less pollution, and a smarter investment over time.
🧵 Conscious Craftsmanship:
Every shade sail is thoughtfully made to minimize environmental impact, from production to installation. We believe beauty should never come at the planet’s expense.
