Paper and Packaging
After bamboo, banana agri-waste contains the 2nd strongest organic fibre on Earth
Virgin fibre derived from banana agricultural waste is incredibly robust, making it a versatile material for various applications. Its exceptional strength and durability enable it to be effectively used in existing machinery, from rotary moulding to thermo moulding lines. Fibre moulded packaging from agri-waste is proven for a number of applications from egg trays, coffee trays and hospital bed pans, to plates, clamshell boxes and cups.
