The Eco Green Unit are celebrating the set up of a successful Banana Fibre Extraction unit for a farmer in Nanded. in the State of Maharashtra, India in January 2018. The technology and training is provided by Eco Green Unit in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu some 20 hours drive away.
The Unit's Project Director, Mr SK Babu says "This Particular project will give him an good income generation by converting the harvested Banana trees into value added product."
STSC models it’s ethos on the Eco Green Unit’s principle of Wealth From Waste. Set up by the Tamil Nadu Agriculture University with the support of the Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Make In India Project, the Eco Green Unit has developed detailed business models and provided financial subsidies for farmers to purchase machines such as the Fibre Extraction Machine.
In their commitment to igniting a worldwide industry for Banana Sylk, STSC works with the Eco Green Unit, and has chosen to buy and then gift Fibre Extraction Machines for farming communities through their "Wealth From Waste" Project.
By harnessing both contemporary and age-old technology, Indian engineers have developed a new range of innovative machines that has enabled the creation of this fabric. Banana Sylk is luxuriously soft, more breathable, durable, less water-consumptive and non-toxic, biodegradable plus more sustainable and eco than other natural fibres such as organic cotton, hemp and bamboo.
In addition to STSC and its sister business EMBROID, Fashion & Interiors Label donating funds to purchase machines for the farming communities, you can also lend support by visiting the site and donating direct via the Paypal link.

BANANA FIBRE THREAD MAKING PROJECT
This is an innovation and a new technology were the banana bark [After Harvest] is teared into sheaths and dried in the sun light after then it is tied and kept in shade so that raw material lasts for 5 years without any damage.
Machinery : We have developed a easy and simplified unit, which consists of Calendaring Machinery/ Slicing Machinery/Twisting machinery with 4 spindles/Reeling machinery.
This Whole unit which gives an output of two ply thread 5000mts/shift, Consumes less power/ Easily operated by women/ Zero maintenance.
This machine will be useful for rural women folk and farmers were they can involve in this project and it will be an income generation activity particularly from Banana sheath an Agro waste.
RAW MATERIAL : India has about 5 lakh hectares of Banana cultivation only 10% of the Banana waste (Pseudo stems) is twisted as thread, mostly the thread is twisted by manual process, and the yield of thread is very low and this kind of manual process needs skilled labour.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS : The Dried banana bark sheath is used for twisting thread. The sheath is inserted calendaring machine to straightening the dried sheath. Secondly the uniformed sheath is inserted in slicing machinery which is sliced according to the size of the thread.( .3 mm or .5 mm and single ply or double ply ).Next reeling process starts in a simple reeling device which is reeled in the cone.. Finally the thread will be twisted in the thread twister which consisits of 1.5HP POWER [MOTORIZED]
LABOUR : To operate this machinery, require minimum of four persons.
INVESTMENT OR CAPITAL : Banana Fiber thread twisting machinery with 8 spindles along with calendering machine, slicing machine and reeling machine costs Rs. 2.50.000 and working capital for this project cost Rs.1 lacs.
FINANCE : promotor’s contribution is 5% to start this business & the bank loan is 95%.
SUBSIDY : The Central Government of India gives 25%-35% subsidy for this project under PMEGP scheme(for Female entrepreneur) and 15% subsidy under UYEGP scheme. Our state govt. announces 25% subsidy for this business.
