Banana paper food services containers
I'm pretty sure these don't exist yet...but it's one idea I've had for awhile. Check out this little video for an entrepreneur competition happening right now in my college.

Re: Banana paper food services containers
Wow, really awesome.
 I can't even imagine how much wood could be saved if all of the p-stem fiber from commercial banana plantations were used to make paper...

Re: Banana paper food services containers
I like your thinking Gabe. I have been thinking lately I would love to know how to process the fiber for rope and clothing. I know people do it I just want to know.
Hey you should write down every idea you have for banana products on a list. after a year I bet you would have a ton of ideas. Maybe even start a business with this one or others. |

Re: Banana paper food services containers
Nice job Gabe. I know you've been making paper for quite some time now. Hopefully your vision pans out!
