Technical Preparation
Specifications, Samples and Documentation
Specifications depend on the product and intended application. Samples may help clarify appearance, texture, size, packaging and testing needs, but do not automatically prove full-production consistency.
Testing may be requested by buyers, importers, regulators, target markets or intended applications. WAZ does not automatically conduct or certify testing.

Husk
Coco peat and fibre pathways.
Shell
Charcoal and carbon pathways.
Residues
Potential biomass pathways where technically and commercially suitable.
