    Introducing BANEXâ„¢ banana fiber, redefining natural performance. Our flagship development is poised to make a positive impact on the fashion and textile industry. This natural fiber not only reduces carbon impact and water usage compared to organic cotton but is also traceable and contributes to food production, eliminating the need for new land for fiber-specific crops.

    While we work towards conducting a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we've been proactive in using impact assessment to estimate and account for our carbon and water utility. In 2023 and 2024, we're excited to announce the scaling of our process with strategic yarn verticals, offering bales of fiber, branded yarn, and branded textiles, marking a significant step toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
