Every banana harvest leaves behind more than fruit.
The stems and fibres remaining after harvest represent an underused natural resource. RECORE™ develops technologies that transform this agricultural residue into materials designed for modern manufacturing.

Banana stem
The beginning of a new material.
Fibre
Natural strands are separated, refined and aligned.
Yarn
Fine fibres gather and twist into continuous yarn.
Fabric
Yarns interlock to form a refined textile surface.
A banana-fibre-based biomaterial platform developed for fashion, accessories, interiors and applications requiring a distinctive alternative to conventional leather and synthetic materials.
Banana agriculture generates substantial residual biomass after harvest. RECORE™ approaches this underused material as a source of fibre and cellulose for new material applications.
Agricultural residue
A resource that can be redirected into productive use.
Bio-based inputs
Building materials around plant-derived fibre.
Value creation
Transforming agricultural residue into commercially useful materials.
Designed for the real world.
Fashion
Garments, accessories and footwear.
Interiors
Furniture, upholstery and home furnishing.
Automotive
Interior surfaces and material applications.
Products
Bags, wallets and lifestyle products.
Lower carbon footprint, by design.
RECORE materials can reduce emissions across the value chain — from avoiding virgin petrochemicals to cutting transport and residue-related greenhouse gases.
