Eco Green exports its products to the US, Sweden, Norway, Holland and Germany. “This paper has huge export potential as people in Western countries are very keen on buying eco-friendly products. We need 50 to 60 tonnes of fibre each month to meet our export commitments. But, at present we are getting not more than 12 to 13 tonnes a month,” said Babu. He, however, said it would take time before it could be sold in Indian markets. “We are surviving because of exports. The production cost for banana paper is twice that of the paper we use in India, and is therefore less suitable for the domestic market.”
