Video 8 - Banana Paper Food Service Containers
Awesome idea, Gabe! I have a few questions. How much banana material would be required to produce one food service container? With BBT, fusarium oxysporum, and a whole host of other diseases threatening our cloned bananas, will there be enough banana material to produce the containers long term? Perhaps you could use the seeded varieties that seem more resistant to disease. Currently, what are banana producers doing with their banana waste? Will there be competition for the banana by products that drive up the price?
