BANANA FABRIC TO TACKLE FASHION WASTE – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

These bags are bananas �… literally! The innovative material called Bananatex is made from the abacá plant to replace polyester and other plastic-based fabrics. This banana tree family grows without extra resources, unlike other natural materials like cotton. Best of all, it’s 100% biodegradable! The bags start at $140, but that’s a lot cheaper than the million dollar clean-up efforts caused by plastics. Even though these bags aren’t enough to solve fashion’s textile waste problem, their production is a great step toward reducing our dependency on plastics. Who wouldn’t mind rocking this bag down a runway? �
