Experts say the environmental benefits of banana fiber are huge and multifaceted, with banana fiber production requiring fewer resources than conventional textiles, such as cotton.
Banana fabric is produced from banana stems and peels.
The specific strength properties of banana fibers are better than other conventional fibers. Banana fibers have light weight, fire resistance quality, high strength, smaller elongation, biodegradability, great potentialities and robust moisture absorption quality.
Just as you'd expect, banana fabric is fabric made from bananas. Not the mushy, fruity part, though—the outer and inner peels, which are both quite fibrous. Just like hemp, which produces a flowering and a stem section, banana stems and peels yield fibers that can be made into textile products.
The natural fibre has multifaceted uses in preparing many value added products of handicraft items such as table-mat, bag, wall hangings and other fancy articles, ropes, craft paper, etc.
