Our innovation is basically the introduction of Natural Hair Extension made from Banana Fiber, with a focus of saving the environment by reducing the use of Synthetic Hair Extension which is currently used Worldwide by all ethnicity groups, and adding extensively to the plastic waste into the Ocean, and other water resources.
A lot of reports have been produced about the global hair wigs and extension market which are estimated to reach revenues of more than $10 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of approximately 9% during 2017-2023.
The reports projected that -The growing demand for high-end human-hair extensions and ultra-high-quality synthetic extensions and wigs across the European region will create new opportunities for leading manufacturers in the global market. The increase in per capita income and spending power among consumers will boost the revenues in the market.
However, all these analysis of global synthetic hair extensions/wigs market provides market size and growth rate for the forecast period 2018-2023, but fails to discuss how these extensions/wigs made from synthetic hair are going to impact on our soils, and environment, because of lack of proper disposal systems in place.
Synthetic hair extensions/wigs are made out of plastic which is stronger and likely to take over 500 years before disposing in the soil, and most of the time they end up in our water streams. If the increase in the production of these synthetic hair is yielding very good income, that means governments are likely to put a blind eye on issues concerning the environment protection, until when it is too late to save our environment.
These synthetic hair are currently treated like normal waste when being disposed, and is ending up in lakes, oceans, seas, or stay in soils which affect agricultural growth.
In the past 18 months, we embarked on the research of testing the strength of the Banana fiber if used to make natural hair extensions and replace the Synthetic Hair Extensions. The test proved very promising to replace the Hair Extensions made from Synthetic Fiber Worldwide. It has excellent potential for export to many countries which are well known for consuming Synthetic Hair Extensions and Wigs, (Market Segmentation by Geography – North America; South America; Canada; Europe; UK; Africa; China; India; Row).
The project will also demonstrate a clear strategy and pathway for connecting our research to an actual solutions:
- By seeking to identify solutions to pressing problems of synthetic hair disposal and their impact to the environment and sustainability.
- By addressing cross-cutting issues that are relevant to the environment in general.
- By contributing towards a solution to a major global environmental challenge, pushing the use of biodegradable hair products on the market.
- By creating additional income to banana farmers.
- By creating jobs with a focus on youth and women.
