ABSTRACT
Banana is one of the world's most well-known and useful plants. Almost every
portion of this plant can be used, including the fruit, leaves, flower bud, trunk, and
pseudo-stem. Unfortunately, when the banana fruit harvesting season is over, the pseudo-
stem is normally discarded as biomass waste. Owing to the volume of waste, disposal
has become a major issue. As a result, researchers have begun to utilize the banana
pseudo-stem and other components and use them to create a variety of value-added items.
Letting those banana stems rot and be thrown to landfills would be a great loss to us
humans so why not utilize each of those to create paper bags and other useful materials?
Besides, if the amount of biomass waste of banana stems continues to increase, the
Several studies have shown that bananas can be used in a variety of applications,
applications. Based on the findings, the researchers' product can be used instead of plastic
bags/cellophane to avoid the rising of greenhouse gas production and to reduce the
amount of plastic waste generated in the world. The researchers come up with this idea
to reduce the production of greenhouse gasses and plastic waste, and to develop an eco-
