Bioleather Studies
2025
Banana fibre source: Indonesia
An exploration into bioleather and bioplastic materials using banana fibre as reinforcement. This project investigates the potential of banana fibre to add strength, flexibility, and durability to plant-based composites. Through a series of tests, I explore whether the material can mimic the qualities of leather; water-resistance, texture, and tensile strength. The aim is to discover alternatives to synthetic materials by working with waste, fibre, and natural binders.
