1. The Problem
Addressing
Plantain Waste.
In Ghana’s Bono and Ahafo regions, an estimated 92,427,750 plantain pseudo stems are left to degrade annually after harvest. Meanwhile, the textile industry spends millions—$14.62 million in 2019 alone—importing fabrics, straining local resources and economies.
2. Our Solution
From Stem to
Sustainable Fabric.
Fibrelux transforms these discarded stems into durable, eco-friendly fabrics. By harnessing agricultural waste, we reduce environmental impact and provide a cost-effective alternative to imported textiles.
