Bananatex

Bananatex is an innovative, sustainable fabric made from banana plants specifically from the Abacá species. What makes Bananatex particularly fascinating is that it’s the first durable, waterproof fabric made from 100% banana fibers, cultivated through natural farming in the Philippine highlands. The material requires no chemical treatments and is fully biodegradable. In consumer goods, it’s gaining popularity in backpacks, bags, and other accessories as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fabrics, combining durability and water resistance with minimal environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.
