RECORE

Bio-based materials from agricultural waste

RECORE

Materials,
reimagined by nature.

We transform banana agricultural waste into high-value materials for textiles, fashion, interiors and the next generation of responsible products.

From banana waste
to material innovation

What if waste
became material?

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.

The banana plant
has more to give.

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.
