Banana Fiber

Upcycled Banana Pseudostem Fiber (Raw Innovation)

A high-performance, lignocellulosic raw material salvaged from post-harvest agricultural waste.

Technical Narrative

• The Innovation: This fiber is harvested from the "pseudostem" (the trunk) of the banana tree, which is traditionally discarded or burnt after fruit harvest.

• Resource Efficiency: Because the plant is grown for food, the fiber requires zero additional land and zero extra water.

• Material Strength: Banana fiber is one of the strongest natural fibers in existence, possessing high tensile strength and a natural resistance to UV rays and moisture.

• Circularity: Turning this "waste" into fiber prevents the biomass from decomposing in fields, which significantly reduces methane emissions
