Banana Fiber Materials

Bananas are delicious with several unique and valuable benefits as they can be consumed, used for decoration, handicrafts or packaging. Banana fibres extracted from stems are less popular and rarely utilized. The fibres are strong and lightweight, with minimal elongation when stretched. They have quick moisture absorbant and release properties make them an ideal material to mix with fabrics. Banana fibres have different levels of softness which supports different applications. The softest inner fibre is good for kimonos and kamisimo, whereas the outermost fibre is suitable for tablecloths. On top of these benefits, banana fibres are easily biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Banana fibres are also in line with our green spirits as they are applicable for resource optimization, which matches the concept of Zero-Waste.
