Application for Green Blade® veneer on Kraft-impregnated paper FSC-certified
Perfect for manual application using a vinylic glue or any other glue for wood application. Green Blade® on Kraft backing is delivered raw and flat on pallets. It is more resistant and easier to work with hand tools, well received by wood workers, carpenters, and cabinet and furniture makers since it is very similar to any laminate solution for cutting and gluing, but we do recommend following the finishing instructions bellow before sanding and varnishing. Balancing must be done with a similar product or any laminate / Kraft impregnated paper sheet.

Dedicated to creating sustainable alternatives to wood products
FibandCo is a company dedicated to creating sustainable alternatives to wood products. Founded in the French Caribbean, it identified banana fiber as a readily available and renewable resource. This focus comes in response to the ongoing loss of forest land, while banana plantations offer a year-round source of raw material.
It developed a unique technology to transform discarded banana stems, a byproduct of yearly harvests, into a responsible and sustainable natural veneer called Green Blade®. Sustainability is a core value. The production utilizes no water, glue, or bleaching processes, minimizing environmental impact. Located in the heart of Martinique's banana farming region, the company works directly with farmers, fostering a short and inclusive supply chain. Additionally, it generates a portion of its electricity through solar panels, further demonstrating its commitment to environmental responsibility.
