Banana Paper Production
Eco-Friendly Banana Paper
At present, the banana stem are dumped on road side or burnt which causes environmental pollution. Conventional paper use toxic chemicals, it also uses maximum amount of energy, natural resources, which creates more waste as compared to banana paper. Banana fibers can be converted into pulp for paper making. This offers a productive use of waste fibers for creating a local supply of paper and generating income.
The Banana paper work promotes our cooperatives while giving an opportunity to the wider community to come learn and experience eco friendly paper making while educating participants about conservation education.
To provide a platform that reflects the benefits of waste management culture while promoting harmony among our community people and our workshops will teach members key concepts in producing paper and how to make products to sell as a way of social economic knowledge immprovement and to also equip them with skills to better their financial lifestyles while learning how to care for and maintain the environment. We have managed to produce different types of environmentally friendly paper which we use to make a wide variety of products for sell from seasonal cards and lamp shades to writing books or packaging material.
The sales generated enable our women afford basic needs of their life and households, while enabling us conserve our surrounding environment We welcome interested volunteers, supporters or even interns who want to help us find market for our products made from banana paper
