Banana Fiber Bag

Global warming is a major threat to mankind .To stop and to reverse the effect of global warming, there is a need to replace non-reverse the effect of global warming, there is a need to replace non- renewable, non-degradable, and synthetic materials with renewable, bio-degradable, and natural material. The best way to bring about the change is to make use of or find innovative uses for agricultural waste which can be used is banana trunk. In India, approximately 5 lakhs tones of banana trunk is discarded as waste every year , after harvesting.Insted,we can extract fiber from hose trunks which has extensive uses in industries like textile, paper, and composite materials. Banana fiber is a very good replacement for synthetic fiber.
Banana fiber is extracted from the pseudo stem Sheath of the plant. The extraction can be done mainly in three ways: Manual, chemical and Mechanical. Of these, mechanical extraction is the best way to ontain fiber of both good quality and quantity in an eco-friendly way. In this process the fiber is extracted by inserting the pseudo stem sheaths one by one into a raspador machine. The raspador machine removes non-fibrous tissues and the coherent material (known as sctcher) from the fiber bundle present in the sheath and gives the fine fiber as output. After extraction, the fiber is shade dried for a day and packed in HDPE bags. Then extraction, then it is stored away from moisture and light to keep it in good condition until it is used.
