Natural Textile Fiber based Product
awareness Program
 In Textile Technology ,the awareness program will be given to the
beneficiaries regarding Natural Textile Banana , bamboo ,Sisal and
Pine apple fiber made products
 It is an eco friendly products , good for our atmosphere and protect
our skin from the climatic conditions
 We can get the product easily around this place ,Even it is the waste
Materials after the cultivation and usage
 Can be used only vegetable fibers which is natural one and not harm
for us
 It is the best alternative for synthetic fibers and their by products
 Jobless People will get job around this place

5.

Advantages of Natural fiber Product
1. Easy Process and Manually can do it
2. Make our traditional products
3. Natural fiber clothing is more comfortable than synthetic fibre.
4. Natural fiber is less harmful to the environment or less harmful to the
environment.
5. There is no harm in the body or human skin.(Non-Allergic)
6. Low cost ,robustness, Strength , durability & availability
7. Bio degradability & Environmental friendly
8. Easily mix with cotton and other fibers to make blending cloths

20.
Comparison with other Fibers ( Banana , Bamboo
Sisal and Pine Apple )
Natural fibers Synthetic Fibers
Come from Nature Completely Man Made
Length Nature Length man made
Stable or filament Mostly filament
Good GSM Less
High Quality and low quality As per man made
High Strength Less
Less cost and process High (both)
No required for chemical Process Need for all Process
No Spinning Process Must need Spinning
Anybody can do it Only Industrialist can
Low Investment Very high
Naturally decompose Not decompose (Harmful to nature)

21.
Advantage of this Program
 Get awareness about natural fibers and application
 Understand about the demand of Banana and other Natural
fiber products
 Can make cluster arrangement because This place is the
cultivation hub of Banana
 Make them hope to prepare and sell the natural products as
commercial Products
 More people will get job during the recession time
 Able to make commercial product and teach them how to sell
it in the market as fiber and product and manufactures as fiber

22.
Feedbacks
Has taken from the Trainees
 The training is moderate
 This is the first time they are hearing banana and bamboo
 Classes and facilities are good
 Trainers are good and guide them well
 Get hope for earning especially ladies
 Thanks for arranging Vehicles to reach locations
 Contacted the markets and buyers
