About BanaFibre

Waste, reimagined as opportunity.

The story behind India's first mobile circular bioeconomy platform for banana biomass.

Our Story

Built on a simple belief

BanaFibre was founded by Urvaflow Technologies Private Limited on a simple but powerful belief: agricultural waste is not waste at all — it is an untapped resource sitting idle in India's farms.

Every year, tens of millions of tonnes of banana pseudostem, the fibrous stem left behind after harvest, are burnt or left to rot in the field. That waste carries real value in the form of fibre, plant nutrients and soil-building organic matter. BanaFibre exists to unlock it.

Our Approach

Processing that travels to the farmer

We are building India's first mobile circular bioeconomy platform purpose-built for banana biomass — taking processing technology to the farmer, rather than asking the farmer to transport waste to a factory.

It's a model rooted in accessibility, sustainability and shared value — designed so the community that grows the crop is also the community that benefits from it.

Our Mission

To transform agricultural waste into a source of dignified income for farmers, high-quality sustainable materials for industry, and measurable environmental benefit for communities and the planet.

Our Vision

A future where every tonne of banana biomass grown in India is put to productive use — strengthening farmer livelihoods, reducing environmental harm, and supplying the growing global demand for natural, bio-based materials.
