Material Overview
Banana fibre is a regenerative plant-based textile derived from agricultural waste — the banana pseudostem left after fruit harvest. Instead of being burned or discarded, the stem is mechanically extracted to create strong, breathable natural fibres.
At TagGTH LTD, our banana fibre fabrics are responsibly sourced, low-impact processed, and digitally traceable through EcoTrace™ — providing verified transparency from farm to fabric.

Pesticides: Minimal / none
Soil Impact: Regenerative biomass recycling
Banana plants naturally regenerate quickly, making this fibre one of the lowest land-impact textile sources.
