Food waste is a growing global concern. Green banana peels can contain a significant amount of starch by dry weight, making them a resource for waste reduction. Extracting starch from these peels is a sustainable way to create a versatile product.

While most people throw banana peels away as food waste, scientific research indicates they contain silica and other valuable compounds. This discovery is driving innovations that repurpose this common agricultural byproduct into sustainable and economically beneficial products.
