Green Banana Paper

Unlike hardwood fruit-bearing trees, banana plants only fruit once in their lifetime. When the bananas are ripe, farmers must chop down the entire stem so that a younger offshoot can grow from the self-replicating stem. Normally, these stems are left to decay in the jungle as a byproduct of the fruit harvest. However, this byproduct is gold to us. We bring the stems to our factory where we extract the fibers to make paper. We then transform this unique banana fiber paper into leather-like wallets and unique handwoven products. Please inquire about our wholesale and private labeling programs
