Answer:
Explanation:
Eco-friendly textiles are not a new concept nor are we the first to utilize nature’s bountiful banana fibers for handmade goods. Banana fiber use can be traced back to 13th century Japan in the form of cloth, but its use was limited by production capabilities. The fiber has been used intermittently since then in weaving and rope making, but recently it has been gaining traction in a world very aware of the harmful aspects of fast fashion.

At the turn of the 20th century, inventors Charles M Taylor and Howard Kay Cook sought a way to make handmade paper from other natural fibers stronger than normal wood pulp. They embarked on a journey to develop and patent a more efficient way to extract fibers from flora such as banana trees. They noticed that the natural life cycle of the banana plant created a unique opportunity to have a sustainable source of raw materials rich in fiber.
