Banana wise: This fashion designer in Shravasti uses banana crop
waste to make women financially independent

In the district of Shravasti, a fashion designer is using banana crop waste to help women become financially independent. The designer, who goes by the name “Banana Wise,” is using discarded banana fibers to create sustainable clothing that is both fashionable and eco-friendly.

The process of creating the clothing involves collecting the discarded banana stems, processing them to extract the fibers, and then using those fibers to create fabric. The resulting fabric is not only biodegradable but also has natural properties that make it breathable, durable, and moisture-wicking.
The Banana Wise initiative not only helps to reduce waste in the banana industry but also provides a source of income for local women. The women are trained in the art of weaving and sewing, allowing them to create clothing and earn a steady income.

This initiative has been especially helpful for women who previously had limited opportunities for employment. By providing them with the skills and resources necessary to create sustainable fashion, Banana Wise is empowering these women and helping to break the cycle of poverty.

In addition to empowering women, the Banana Wise initiative also promotes sustainability and environmental awareness. By using discarded banana fibers to create clothing, Banana Wise is reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and helping to create a more sustainable fashion industry.
