Business Insider, you should ask for their contact details or an online store of the products you feature. This way, it helps the businesses flourish amidst this pandemic.
Good 😊🌹🌹
Harbor Freight should make one of those machines. It would cost $29.99
1:44 There’s no way that simple machine is worth $10,000.
Tbh, I read it as drugs not rugs, only reason I clicked on this lmao
In India the Banana stem is cooked and eaten

Remaining parts of banana has to back to soil..everything need not be modified for man’s will
I’m so happy that they are making money and products out of things that would otherwise be thrown away. I hope their buisness prospers!
How is switching from one crop to another "green"? Makes absolutely no sense…
I love bananas too but recently changed to eating green ones vs riped ones as they have more fibre and way less sugar than riped ones! But pretty cool how you can use remainder of stem to create more items!
We eat raw banana as curry. Tender inner part of stem as a curry..lot of fibre..very good for health..meal on banana leaf…that way all parts of banana plant is used
I appreciate the attempt of converting the waste into something useful but its not a total waste wen you really know its importance its just too healthy .
In Kerala India we eat our food in banana leaves and the steam of that is used as food ,we eat it 🤦♀️im sry I lost it at the beginning itself when you said banana produce more waste
I believe african countries will become the most developed and eco friendly countries, if western and european countries don’t disturb
Nobody:
Me: my house car furniture and wife is made of banana
Imagine posting this video and you don’t drop the business’s number or website
Has NO ONE thought of pitching this idea to the Banana Republic clothing company?? Think of the marketing angle…
Wooow..may you grow to expand by His grace…👏👏
