  • SARG is an innovation company engaged in developing environment friendly sustainable products primarily out of agri waste and agri composites
  • SARG is based in Surat, Gujarat, India known for textiles
  • First innovation is the development of a soft and spinnable fiber extracted from banana tree.
  • In-house developed enzyme based proprietary technology to soften and bring spinnability to raw banana fiber
  • Banana fiber can be blended with cotton or any other natural fiber in the ratio of 60% Banana fiber and 40% Cotton/other natural fiber
  • Started in 2OJ9, the company has gradually increased its banana fiber processing capacity to 720 tones per annum and yarn capacity of J2OO tones
  • Tie up with two textile mills, to blend the banana fiber with Organic/BCI/Conventional Cotton

 

Yarn

  • SARG offers yarn with a blend of 60% Banana Fibre and 40% Cotton Organic/ BCI/Conventional)
  • Yarn counts : 10/1, 16/1, 20/1, 24/1, 30/1 and 40/1
  • SARG is currently working on blending with wool, silk and other natural fibres

Highlight Of Banana Fibers

  • Extracted from the pseudo stem of Banana tree that becomes an agri waste after harvesting the
  • Fully sustainable and environment friendly
  • For every KG of Banana fibre used in lieu of cotton, water saving is 10000
  • Results in saving in land usage as the fibre is an agri waste and not from a newly grown tree for the
  • Better carbon foot print as compared to Cotton as no chemical is used in the processing of
  • As the process of extraction of fibre is mechanical and takes place at farm level the energy consumption is very insignificant as compared to any othe natural fibre including cotton
