Banofi creates plant-based leather from banana fibres and agricultural waste. The proprietary material, Ban-o-Fi (Banana Fibre Leather), looks, feels, and smells like traditional leather but is vegan, sustainable, and made from upcycled crop waste. The process begins by sourcing banana crop waste directly from farmers, who would otherwise discard it. From this waste, they extract fibers, which serve as primary raw material. These fibers are combined with a blend of natural gums and adhesives, and finished with layers of colors and coatings. This material is then coated onto a fabric backing, resulting in a durable and robust material that is 80-90% biobased. Ban-o-Fi (Banana Fibre Leather), has a significantly lower environmental impact than both animal and plastic leather. Banofi continues to innovate and reduce their dependence on polymers. Banofi has widespread applications across fashion, furniture, automotives and packaging industries.
