This chapter said The foreign review of related literature highlights the potential of banana stem fibers as a

sustainable material for bag production, whereas the local review provides insights into the current state of eco-

friendly bag production in Philippines. Jumawan (2019) conducted a study on the use of banana pseudo stem as an

eco-friendly paper bag material which was presented at the third International Conference on Arts, Science and

Technology (ICAST) in 2019. Additionally, the use of banana pseudo stem fibers in paper bag production was found

to have potential environmental benefits, as it can help reduce agricultural waste and provide a renewable source of

material. Bai et.al (2017) banana stem fibers could be used as a reinforcing material in biodegradable composites,

improving their mechanical properties and making them more environmentally friendly. (2016) The study

investigates the use of banana fibers as a reinforcement material in polymer composites for eco-friendly packaging

applications. In this study, the authors found that banana stem fibers had properties that make them suitable

alternative to synthetic materials used for making bags. Their study explored the potential of using banana stem

fibers as a raw material for making paper bags. They also found that the paper bags made from banana stem fibers

were strong, durable, and had a natural appearance, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper

bags. The bags produced from banana stem fibers were also found to be biodegradable and had a natural appearance,

making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional bags. According to the research Banana Pseudo-Stem Fiber:

Preparation, Characteristics, and Applications conducted by Subagyo Asmanto et al. Overall, the research article

highlights the potential of banana pseudo-stem fiber as a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fibers.
