Using Banana Bark as a Raw Material

Banana trees only flower once and when they are cut down, the bark is often discarded during the banana harvesting process when in fact it can be treated, and processed to become rope that can be used for making beautiful handicrafts. MAS makes uses of this excellent waste produce to use it as a resource for weaving handicrafts such as baskets and stools that are sold locally and are sought after on the international market.

Using Yarn Sizing Waste For Handicrafts

Multiyasa makes use of all waste materials from parent company PT Dan Liris from the yarn sizing process to create new handicraft products as part of its mission to be fully sustainable in all aspects of the supply chain and production process. The waste yarn is twisted into rope which is used as a raw material for creating high quality handicraft products such as woven stools.
