Banana stems can often be found in the agricultural waste pile, so finding ways to make things of value out of agricultural waste provides yet another significate layering of sustainable input into the wristband. Banana fibers are lightweight, breathable and strong; making the wristband an everyday wear for strong and durable comfort.
