Banafine showcased at the 2nd East Africa Regional Sustainable Natural Fibres Symposium
Skilpack presented Banafine and its banana-fibre product range to researchers, industry and policymakers at UIRI, Namanve.
Skilpack Ltd took part in the 2nd East Africa Regional Sustainable Natural Fibres Symposium, hosted at the Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI) Namanve campus, under the theme “Innovate. Collaborate. Sustain.”
The symposium brought together researchers, manufacturers, development partners and government representatives from across the region to advance the use of natural fibres in industry.
Our team presented Banafine banana-fibre hair extensions alongside cottonised fibre, yarn and woven products, and met with buyers and research institutions interested in sourcing and collaboration.
Skilpack welcomes follow-up enquiries from organisations we met at the symposium and from anyone interested in partnering on natural-fibre value addition in East Africa.
