Banana fiber sari offers sustainable, biodegradable alternative in Bangladesh

Entries Now Open For The 11th Savanna Comics’ Choice Comedy Awards:…The sari, a quintessential part of Bangladeshi culture and attire, is known for its vibrant colors and intricate designs.

While this may not be a unique concept in the global context, it marks an exciting shift in the fashion landscape of Bangladesh, bringing environmental consciousness to the forefront.Shaing Shaing U holding a newly finished banana fiber sari.

I discussed it with my husband and after seeing the fiber, we found that it would be possible and we made some file folders,” she said.

Shaing then consulted with her husband and brought Radhavati Devi, from the Manipuri-populated Mahergao village of Kamalganj Upazila of Moulvibazar, to make a sari out of banana plant fiber. Banana plantations are abundant in Bangladesh, making banana plants an ideal source of sustainable fashion materials.

“From a sustainability point of view, it has a huge appeal in the apparel industry, and it is an example of a nature-based solution, which we have been advocating in the global forum for quite a long time,” Chowdhury added.
