Banana Fiber Extraction
From Agricultural Waste to Premium Textile
Our proprietary extraction process transforms banana pseudostem—typically discarded as agricultural waste—into high-quality, textile-grade fiber suitable for traditional handloom weaving.
Our Process
- 1Harvest banana pseudostem after fruit collection
- 2Separate outer and inner sheaths for different fiber grades
- 3Process through mechanical and natural decortication
- 4Clean, dry, and grade fibers for quality
- 5Prepare fibers for spinning and weaving
Key Benefits
Sustainable Alternative
Replaces cotton and synthetic fibers with zero additional land use
Lower Water Footprint
Banana plants require significantly less water than cotton cultivation
Biodegradable
100% natural material that decomposes safely at end of life
Unique Properties
Natural luster, strength, and breathability ideal for textiles
Natural Mordants
Chemical-Free Textile Dyeing
We've developed organic mordants derived from banana pseudostem byproducts, enabling chemical-free textile dyeing that produces vibrant, lasting colors without environmental harm.
Our Process
- 1Extract compounds from banana pseudostem processing waste
- 2Process and concentrate natural fixing agents
- 3Test and standardize mordant strength
- 4Package for textile industry use
Key Benefits
Zero Toxic Chemicals
Eliminates harmful substances from the dyeing process
Safe for Skin
Natural mordants produce textiles safe for sensitive skin
Vibrant Colors
Excellent color retention with natural dyes
Eco-Friendly Effluent
Dyeing wastewater is safe for the environment
Liquid Biofertilizers
Organic Soil Enrichment
Our biofertilizers are manufactured from nutrient-rich banana pseudostem extracts, providing farmers with an organic alternative to chemical fertilizers that improves soil health.
Our Process
- 1Collect processing residue from fiber extraction
- 2Ferment organic material with beneficial microorganisms

Nutrient-Rich
Contains potassium, phosphorus, and essential micronutrients
Cost-Effective
Affordable alternative for small-scale farmers
Mushroom Cultivation Substrates
Innovative Growing Medium
We've pioneered the use of banana pseudostem as a sustainable substrate for mushroom cultivation, replacing traditional paddy straw with a year-round available alternative.
Our Process
- 1Process banana pseudostem into suitable substrate form
- 2Pasteurize substrate to eliminate contaminants
- 3Optimize moisture and nutrient content
- 4Package for mushroom farming applications
Key Benefits
Higher Yield Potential
Banana substrates can produce comparable or better yields
Year-Round Availability
Unlike seasonal paddy straw, banana pseudostem is always available
Reduced Costs
Utilizes agricultural waste, reducing input costs
Sustainable Practice
Supports circular agriculture and waste reduction
100% Waste-to-Value Circular Economy
Our circular economy model ensures that every part of the banana pseudostem is utilized, achieving true zero-waste production.
