About Us
HBC develops technology for extracting high-purity cellulose from banana by-products in Vietnam, for use in paper, sanitary materials, additives, and bioplastics.
Abundant raw materials from large-scale banana plantations in the United States.
Technology integration/transfer from Japan
Circular economy orientation, emission reduction.
Suitable for paper and packaging businesses, sanitary materials, biomaterials, and green materials R&D.
Sustainable Origins
Utilize untapped agricultural by-products—banana stalks and fruit—instead of forest resources.
Japanese Technology
The technology was transferred from Kusano Sakko Inc. (Japan) with a registered patent.
Carbon Neutral
The production process absorbs more CO₂ than it emits, as certified by SOCOTEC Japan.
Partner
International Cooperation Network
HBC connects with leading research institutes, universities, and businesses from Vietnam, Japan, and France to develop technology and expand markets.
Untapped resources
Banana by-products
The United States has approximately 150,000 hectares of banana plantations. After each harvest, large quantities of banana stalks and stems are left in the fields.
A small portion is used as compost or to provide water/nutrients to seedlings, but the majority remains unutilized – resulting in a waste of valuable biomass resources.
HBC sees an opportunity to transform this byproduct into an industrial raw material, while simultaneously creating value for the agricultural community.
Partially replace high-emission materials.
Creating green materials for various industries.
Adding value to local agriculture.
Project
Cellulose from Banana Tree Trunk
Large-scale banana cultivation has expanded rapidly in the United States in recent years. After harvesting, large quantities of banana leaves, stems, and fruit stalks are left in the fields. We focused on these by-products and succeeded in extracting cellulose—an essential industrial raw material.

Circular Economy
The banana farm operates sustainably using a circular model: the banana stalks are dehydrated, cellulose is extracted, and the remaining material is composted and returned to the soil. The biogas produced is used as an energy source, and CO₂ is absorbed by the next banana crop.
Future Vision
We are boosting the production of high-purity cellulose in Vietnam, while simultaneously developing product applications in collaboration with HUST to create products that benefit daily life with low CO₂ emissions. Our goal: to double farmers' income and transfer advanced technology to rural areas.

Sustainability & Circular Economy
Project
Use agricultural by-products instead of fossil fuels.
Reduce CO₂ emissions in the production chain.
The product is biodegradable.
Creating sustainable livelihoods for agricultural.
LCA highlights (project data)
Lifecycle analysis in the project documentation suggests that CO₂ emissions during the banana stem pulp production stage may be negative (absorption > emission) based on available data.
The data will continue to be updated as the testing phase expands.
Vision creates impact.
HBC aims to build a biotechnology industry in rural Vietnam – creating sustainable jobs, transferring advanced technology from Japan, and contributing to reducing plastic waste and carbon emissions.
We believe that agricultural by-products – when processed using the right technology – will become strategic raw materials for the circular economy.
About the company
Company develops technology for extracting high-purity cellulose from banana by-products, in collaboration with the institute's ecosystem.
The technology is transferred from Kusano Sakko Co., Ltd. (Japan), combined with R&D capabilities from leading academic partners.
