Frequently Asked Questions

Abaca fiber is used across many industries including pulp and paper (currency notes, teabags, specialty paper), textiles and nonwovens, construction reinforcement, marine ropes, agricultural bags and industrial packaging. Its exceptional strength, saltwater resistance and biodegradability make it ideal for demanding applications.

Yes. Abaca fiber is commonly known as banana hemp because it comes from a plant in the banana family (Musa textilis). Despite the name, it is not related to cannabis hemp. It is prized industrially for its long, strong fibers and natural durability.
