[About the BANANA BLACK series]

"BANANA BLACK" is an upcycled product series born from the combination of "Mottainai Banana Charcoal" developed by Dole Co., Ltd. and FOOD STONE's material development technology.

In the banana-producing areas of the Philippines, fruits that are discarded as not meeting the standards are carbonized, and the charcoal is reconstituted to create a stone-like material.

The white marble pattern that emerges from the jet black is a natural texture created by natural ash. The beauty of black and the story of "recycling" are contained in the scent and daily actions.

[What is FOOD STONE?]

FOOD STONE is an upcycling brand that breathes new life into food waste that would otherwise be discarded, transforming it into stone-like sculptural materials.

By combining unused resources such as coffee grounds, fruit peels, and vegetable peels with minerals derived from seawater, we create products that possess natural colors and textures.

We achieve sustainable manufacturing that reduces the burden on the environment by not relying on petroleum-derived chemicals or high-temperature processing.
