New method turns banana waste into green textiles, energy | Scientists estimate that the banana agricultural waste in Pakistan could yield 57,488 million cubic meters of syngas.
In the two-part process, banana agro-waste is converted to textile fibers, and the waste from it will be used to produce renewable energy.
