It develops effectively as it sets out youthful shoots and is most regularly found in hot tropi cal atmospheres. All assortments of banana plants have strands in wealth. These filaments are acquired after the organic product is gathered and fall in the gathering of bast fibers.This plant has for some time been a decent hotspot for excellent materials in numerous pieces of the world including India. After the foods grown from the ground leaves are collected, the bark of the tree is utilized which in any case would have gone waste. The fiber is removed from the bark of the tree which is the mother of such a large number of delightful handmade banana fiber items. Page 4 A People’s Manual Waste to Wealth : Craft Development Using Banana Fiber The banana fiber is made out of cellulose †62%, lignin †29%, hemicellulose 3%, rectin †2%, different †4%. Results of the fiber are : textures, ags, different kinds of mats, inside design things, window blinds, pad covers, reinforce covers, table lights and organizers, to give some examples. The items are totally eco -accommodating and bio-degradable. There is no utilization of power while making the items as it is made on the handlooms. Likewise, no synthetic compounds are utilized in the production. It is a fantastic substitute for plastic and paper. Fiber Extraction Banana Fiber is extricated from Banana tree husk. The storage compartment is stripped. Browngreen skin is discarded holding the cleaner or white bit which will be handled into hitched fibers.The strands are separated through hand extraction machine made out of either serrated or non serrated blades. The strip is clipped between the wood board and blade and hand-got through, expelling the resinous material. The extricated strands are sun-dried which brightens the fiber. When dried, the strands are prepared for tying. A lot of strands are mounted or clasped on a stick to encourage isolation. Every fiber is isolated by fiber estimates and gathered in like manner. To hitch the fiber, every fiber is isolated and tied as far as possible of another fiber manually.The partition and tying is rehashed until lots of unknotted filaments are done to frame a long consistent strand. This fiber would now be able to be utilized for making different items. Attributes of Banana fiber Banana fiber is a characteristic bast fiber.
