Green Blade® is a new sustainable, exotic veneer from the French Caribbean. Made from banana plants, this unique alternative to wood veneer emerges from the desire to combine elegance and sustainability without compromise.


The banana plant has one life cycle, after bearing fruit the banana plant trunk is recycled by FIBANDCO to produce Green Blade®. No water or glue is used in the manufacturing of Green Blade® and FIBANDCO produces all of the electricity it consumes via photovoltaic panels. The result is a natural and unique product with low environmental impact.


This beautiful new species of veneer is used to cover wall panels, acoustic panels, ceiling panels, furniture, doors, and even used as an insert in Ecoresin® panels.
