Banana is a fruit grown mainly in tropical countries of the world. After harvest, almost 60% of
banana biomass is left as waste. Worldwide, about 114.08 million metric tons of banana …

Banana pseudostems are now recognized as a sustainable raw material with a wide range
of applications. Plenty of research attention has been paid to banana pseudostem fiber …

The renewable characteristics of natural fibers have prompted consumers to switch from
synthetic and petroleum-based resources. The dimension and geometry of the cell wall and …

Global fiber production contributes 107 million MT in 2018 and is expected to grow 145
million MT by 2030. Fiber production can be plant-based, animal-based, man-made, and …

This study focused on reducing the burden of air pollution, wastage of banana pseudostems,
and adding value to the plant's products. Alkali pre-treatment and ultrasounds aided in …

Biocompatibility, biodegradability, and toxicity issues of synthetic polymers have propelled
the search for environmentally friendly and non-toxic alternatives. In this context, biobased …

Millions of tons of banana pseudo-stem are readily available annually, making it a
sustainable resource for banana fiber. Banana fibres possess inherent mechanical strength …

Ligno-cellulosic fiber has been extracted from the core part of banana pseudo stem and the
