Veneers may not look good for everyone, just look at Hilary Duff.;~”

No problem. The company has announced that they will be making a version of particle board and MDF( I think from the waste after they extract the veneer). Imagine a particle board substitute that is water retardant and fire retardant !. Just so you know, these are not pie in the sky ideas. The prototypes do exist and are being tested as we speak. I actually have a sample of the veneer. looks exactly like wood veneer but without the knot holes, so in my opinion looks better.

Mario, thank you very much for your valuable comment. I love the quote
This banana thing sounds really great. I think it will also mean a better life for the “plantation people”!
I’d like to ask you a few questions about the shares, hope you don’t mind me emailing you.

I have been a shareholder in this company for a few years now. It is not only the benefit of reducing the ammount of pulp paper we use now. Imagine all those third world countries that grow bananas now have a valuable cash crop that is worth millions of dollars. The machine to do all this is also portable,so no having to truck the fibre thousands of miles, only the end product that is dried, and so weighs a fraction of what it did before it was manufactured this means they cut out a lot of the pollution from the transport angle.
A quote I saw in the paper here summed it up beautifully it went something like:
“they have more green cred than a bycicle riding vegan with a worm farm.”
