Transforming Waste into Resources

Scientists have developed a method to convert banana waste into sustainable textiles and clean energy, addressing both waste management and renewable energy generation. This innovative process involves refining fibers from banana stems to create fabrics while utilizing the leftover materials to produce electricity in a sustainable manner. As bananas are a significant crop in Pakistan, this technology not only helps reduce waste but also targets the energy shortages faced in the region. The collaboration with the National Textile University aims to implement this system in other developing countries, promoting environmental sustainability on a global scale.
