Bananatex fabrics, developed by Swiss bag company Qwstion, have been certified as compostable, both in marine water and via industrial composting, by testing institute ISEGA.

According to the lab results, shown to sportstextiles, Bananatex was found to have almost completely biodegraded under marine conditions after 112 days. “This may be the most meaningful step for Bananatex so far,” commented co-founder and chief executive Hannes Schoenegger.
