Banana Fiber Waste

Our process starts with sourcing banana stem waste directly from farmers, diverting it from disposal. From this waste, we extract fibers that form our primary raw material. These fibers are carefully combined with natural gums and adhesives, and then treated with layers of colors and coatings. The resulting material is applied onto a fabric backing, creating a resilient product that is 80-90% bio-based and environmentally friendly.
Our exclusive material, Banana Leather, boasts a markedly lower environmental footprint compared to both animal and plastic-based leathers. We are committed to ongoing innovation, striving to minimize our use of polymers and enhance sustainability at every stage. Sustainability is not just a goal, but a profound mission we are steadfastly dedicated to achieving.
Banana Leather finds versatile applications across the leather and footwear industries. As we step onto the fashion stage, we are paving the way for sustainable innovation.
