DISCARDED coconut shells caught the attention of a group of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) students in Kedah, prompting them to take the initiative to recycle them as charcoal.

UUM’s Co and Coal project director Ho Cia Chen, 23, said coconut shells were usually thrown away indiscriminately due to a lack of proper disposal.
