CHAPTER 1

PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the environmental

impact of single-use plastic bags. As a result, there is an increasing demand for eco-

friendly alternatives that can help reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable

practices. One such alternative is the use of banana stem fiber as a material for eco

bags.

Banana (Musa acuminata) is an elongated edible fruit botanically a berry

produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants. Bananas are widely

produced and abundant natural resources in tropical and subtropical countries in the

world and considered as one of the most useful plants. According to Mohapatra et al.

(2010), banana is the second largest produced fruits after citrus contributing about

16% of the world's total fruit production. Banana plants, which belong to the family

of Musaceae, are native to the Malaysia-Indonesian region of South-East Asia.

(Subagyo and chafidz, 2018).

Banana pseudo stem is a part of banana plant that looks like a trunk, which

consist of soft central core and tightly wrapped up to 25 leaf sheaths. According to

Subagyo and Chafidz, 2018, the major uses of banana pseudo-stem fiber are in

making specialized and high-quality sanitary products such as baby pampers, textiles,

and papers such as banknotes.

1
 Banana stem fiber is a natural and renewable resource that can be extracted

from the pseudo-stem of the banana plant, which is typically discarded as agricultural

waste. The use of banana stem fiber as an eco-bag material offers several benefits.

Firstly, it reduces the reliance on single-use plastic bags, which take hundreds of years

to decompose and contribute to pollution in our landfills and oceans. Secondly, it

provides an opportunity to repurpose agricultural waste, reducing the environmental

impact associated with its disposal.

Additionally, banana stem fiber as eco-bags are biodegradable and

compostable, meaning they can naturally break down and return to the environment

without causing harm. This makes them a more sustainable choice compared to

traditional plastic bags, which can persist in the environment for centuries.

Moreover, banana stem fiber as an eco-bag can be produced using low energy

manufacturing processes, minimizing the carbon footprint associated with their

production. They can also be designed to be reusable and durable, allowing for

multiple uses and reducing the need for frequent replacements. By utilizing this waste

material, we can create a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for bag production

created from discarded parts of the banana plant to suggest a greener and cleaner

future, reducing plastic waste, and promoting a more environmentally conscious

lifestyle.

 CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter discussed some related literature and studies, theoretical and

conceptual framework, and the study's hypothesis regarding the potentiality of banana

stem fiber as an alternative in making banana eco paper bag.

This study is intended to determine the potentiality of banana stem fiber in

making eco bag.

2.1 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

2.1.1 BANANA (Musa acuminata) AS SOURCE OF FIBER

Banana is one of the most important fruit crop plants that belong to the genus

musa and scientifically known as Musa acuminata, is a versatile and delicious fruit

packed with numerous health benefits. According to Balda & Sharma, (2021), banana

fibre is one of major interest as banana is one of the most consumed fruit worldwide

with annual production of 115.7 million tons in the year 2018 and is grown in 130

countries, which makes banana waste available locally. Various parts of banana plant

such as fruit, fruit peel, flower bud, leaves and pseudo-stem (banana trunk) are

utilized for different industrial purposes. Pseudo-stem is the major portion of banana

waste biomass and yields good quality fibre that has the potential for industrial

applications in the making of sanitary pads, textiles, pulp, and paper. The pseudo-stem

of banana plant provides and transports nutrients from the soil to the fruits. This

5
pseudo-stem will be cut and become waste biomass after the banana fruit is ripe and

harvested, because the banana plant is unusable for the next harvest.

As stated by Sangamithirai and Vasugi (2023), fibres from banana pseudo

stem possess beneficial qualities that can be used for textiles. But in a recent year,

banana fibers can be refined and used to make fine cushion covers, neck ties, bags,

table cloths, curtains etc. They have composition, structures and properties that are

suitable for using eco-friendly environment. Banana plants, which belong to the

family of Musaceae, are native to the Malaysia-Indonesian region of South-East Asia.

Bananas are widely produced and abundant natural resources in tropical and

subtropical countries in the world. (Subagyo & Chafidz, 2018). The potential of these

products are significantly undeniable because it opens a new opportunity in creating a

new method of producing these sorts of products.

2.1.2 PRODUCTION OF ECO BAG

Eco bags not only recycle material that would be going to waste, they also

eliminate the need for single-use plastic bags that have proven to harm the

environment. Made from petroleum, plastic bags fuel extraction of fossil resources.

They also present a serious disposal problem. It takes centuries for plastics bag to

break down in nature, burning them releases poisonous chemicals, and in oceans,

plastic trash harms a number of marine species. Non-toxic Eco bags, on the other

hand, conserve the environment by harmlessly biodegrading after numerous uses. Eco

bags provide a clean, safe, and eco-friendly alternative. It can bear a stronger load

than conventional bags. Production of Eco bags provides a sustainable source of

income that producers, mostly poor women, can use to support themselves and their

families. Reducing plastic waste and conserving natural resources through recycling,

6
helps the community as a whole. As a result, these communities have become more

aware of environmental issues. (unfccc.int, 2019) Another study suggests that

reusable plastic bags are the most eco-friendly option in Singapore. The production of

cotton bags involves pesticide use and the discharge of heavy metals into water, while

paper bag production generates liquid waste. Reusable plastic bags, on the other hand,

can be used multiple times and have a lower environmental impact. (Tan, 2022)

According to straits times (2020), nearly 48 million shopping bags are used

every day across the Philippines, totaling more than 17 billion a year. Thought here

are 3r's system and various activities to eliminate plastic, countering this plastic waste

is not yet enough. That's why we come up with an idea for Eco bags because this is

the best plastic bag option.

2.1.3 POTENTIALITY OF BANANA STEM FIBER AS AN ECO BAG

Banana stem fiber is indeed being used as an eco-friendly alternative for

making bags. The pseudo-stem of the banana plant, which is the major portion of the

biomass waste left after fruit harvesting, can provide a sustainable source for fiber-

based industries. Banana fiber extracted from the pseudo-stem has better fineness and

spinnability compared to other fibers. This makes it suitable for the production of eco

bags and other similar products. There are several advantages to using eco bags made

from banana stem fiber. They are biodegradable, renewable, and have a lower

environmental impact compared to plastic bags. Additionally, banana stem fiber is a

waste material that can be repurposed, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

The production of eco bags from banana stem fiber offers an alternative to single-use

paper or plastic bags. These eco bags can be reused multiple times, providing a

7
sustainable option for shopping and can help reduce the environmental impact of

single-use plastic bags.

Moreover, banana stem fibers are proven to be stronger and useful for bag

production. Its properties show a lot of potentiality, and the manufacturing is

inexpensive, as well as eco-friendly. (Bhatnagar, et al., 2015) Due to its natural

properties, banana stem fibers are easier to work with. Furthermore, natural pigments

are also not hard to apply to the fiber. They can be a source of products as well as a

source of employment because it opens new opportunities to many individuals

(Sangamithirai & Vasugi, 2020). The usefulness of this material is beneficial for zero

waste disposal as well as producing bio-products in helping the environment to grow.

(Mohiuddin, et al., 2014

2.2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

One of the strongest natural fibers in the world is banana fiber, sometimes

referred to as musa fiber. The pseudostem, peduncle, and leaf make up the majority of

the three sections of the banana plant. The banana pseudostem, which resembles a tree

trunk and is useless once the fruit is harvested, can then be used in extracting the

banana fiber (Mantra workshop, 2013).

The use of banana fiber as an eco-bag holds significant importance due to

several reasons- sustainability, biodegradability, reduction of single - use plastic,

promotes circular economy, local community development and eco- friendly image.

1. Sustainability: Banana fiber is a sustainable and renewable resource. It is

derived from the waste material of banana plants, specifically the pseudo-

stem, which is usually discarded after the fruit is harvested. By utilizing this

8
 waste material to create eco bags, we can reduce the reliance on non-

renewable resources and minimize environmental impact.

2. Biodegradability: One of the key advantages of banana fiber eco bags is their

biodegradability. Unlike plastic bags that can persist in the environment for

hundreds of years, banana fiber bags naturally decompose over time, reducing

the accumulation of waste and minimizing harm to ecosystems.

3. Reduction of Single-Use Plastic: Banana fiber eco bags provide an alternative

to single-use plastic bags, which are a major contributor to plastic pollution.

By choosing eco bags made from banana fiber, individuals can contribute to

reducing plastic waste and its detrimental effects on the environment and

wildlife.

4. Promotes Circular Economy: The production of banana fiber eco bags

promotes a circular economy approach. Instead of discarding the pseudo-stems

as waste, they are repurposed and transformed into a valuable product. This

not only reduces waste but also creates economic opportunities and supports

sustainable livelihoods.

5. Local Community Development: The production of banana fiber eco bags can

have positive social impacts by providing employment and income generation

opportunities for local communities. This can particularly benefit regions

where banana cultivation is prevalent, contributing to sustainable development

and poverty alleviation.

6. Eco-Friendly Image: Using banana fiber eco bags aligns with eco-conscious

values and promotes an environmentally friendly image. It demonstrates a

commitment to sustainable practices and encourages others to adopt more eco-

friendly alternative.

3.3 EQUIPMENT/APPARATUS AND UTENSILS

 Cylinder

3.4 PROCEDURE

1. Collecting Banana Stem and Gathering Materials

In Soriano's residence, we will collect banana stems for the purpose of

extracting fiber. Equipped with a bolo knife, we will carefully cut the banana

stems, ensuring a clean and precise separation. Once the stems are collected, we

will gather additional materials from David's house. We will obtain water,

essential for the process. A blender will be used to soften the banana stem pieces,

ensuring a finer consistency for fiber extraction. Additionally, we will acquire a

basin, which will serve as a container for the blended banana stem mixture. Lastly,

we will construct a wooden frame, utilizing available materials, to create a reliable

support structure for the fiber extraction process.

2. Peeling and Cutting of the Banana Stem

Using the bolo knife, we'll peel off the old skin from the banana stem. After

peeling off the old skin, we'll cut the banana stem into small pieces.

14
3. Preparation of Banana Stem

We'll heat up some water for the banana stem. Prepare the 25 mL Sodium

Hydroxide Solution. We will use sodium hydroxide to loosen the pseudo stem and

separate its fibers. Next, we'll add the banana stem after the water has boiled. The

Sodium Hydroxide Solution will then be added. Then, get some water ready to

rinse your banana stems. Once your boiled banana stems are soft, we will strain

and rinse them.

4. Preparation of Banana Stem

We'll heat up some water for the banana stem. Prepare the 25 mL Sodium

Hydroxide Solution. We will use sodium hydroxide to loosen the pseudo stem and

separate its fibers. Next, we'll add the banana stem after the water has boiled. The

Sodium Hydroxide Solution will then be added. Then, get some water ready to

rinse your banana stems. Once your boiled banana stems are soft, we will strain

and rinse them.

5. Eco-bag Making

After the banana stem fiber has thoroughly dried, we will carefully remove it

from the frame, ready to embark on the exciting journey of creating our eco bag.

With our creative minds at work, we will begin sewing the banana stem fiber

together, using a needle and thread, to form the foundation of our environmentally

friendly bag. After that, varnish and dry it 10minutes under the sun. Then, we are

ready to present our eco bag made from banana stem fiber.

15
3.5 EVALUATION OF THE PRODUCT

Through observation and research, eco bag made from banana stem fibers have

demonstrated the durability making them an excellent example of sustainable and

long-lasting bag options. Eco bags made from banana stem fiber have a rough texture

due to the natural characteristics of the fiber. Unlike commercial bags, which often

undergo additional processes to enhance their texture and make them smoother, eco

bags retain the original texture of the banana stem fiber. The rough texture of eco bags

made from banana stem fiber is part of their appeal. It showcases the natural and

sustainable nature of the material. The roughness adds a unique and organic touch to

the bag, making it stand out from traditional commercial bags. The fibers are known

for their high tensile strength which means they can withstand significant amount of

weights without breaking or tearing. This makes them highly suitable for carrying

heavy things.

22
5.3 RECOMMENDATION

Production of banana eco bag from banana pseudo stem yielded positive results.

To further improve the study, the researchers also recommend the following:

1. Slice the banana pseudo stem into thinner pieces so that it easy to be crushed

in the blender.

2. Dry it directly under the sun or above the roof so that it will not consume

much time todry the eco bag.

3. Use big wooden frame to make bigger bags. The bigger the bag, the better.

4. The strainer's hole needs to be tightly sealed so that only the blended banana

stem fiber will stay in the sieve once the extra water has been drained.

5. If sodium hydroxide is not available, substitute lye water (lihiya) or caustic

soda.

6. Much better to sew it rather than glue it to determine the durability of the

product

7. Last but most importantly, you must have an enough knowledge on how to

design an eco-bag.
