The recycling of agricultural waste represents one of the practical directions for implementing the principles of circular bioeconomy. The use of biological residues or wastes for creation of environmentally friendly biodegradable materials is the way to achieving sustainable development. The cultivation of popular and nutritionally rich fruit of banana plants is associated with production of a large amount of biomass.</p> <p>Purpose. This study is aimed to explore the potential of banana fibre under the concept of sustainable circular bioeconomy.</p> <p>Materials and methods. To achieve the objective, we employ several methods such as an abstract-logical method, graphic method, comparative analysis method, data systematization and generalization. The empirical part of the study was derived from the statistical database from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The theoretical part of the study is based on the investigation the scientific literature from peer-review journals.</p> <p>Results. The study showed that banana fibers are considered as an ecologically clean material capable of effectively replacing synthetic counterparts. An analysis of scientific papers revealed that presently the demand for utilization of banana by-products (pseudo-stems and banana leaves) for creation new products at the industrial level is growing around the world. We highlighted key botanical features of this plant and showed the banana plant potential for recycling. We found the largest banana and plantains producing countries. Thereafter, we summarized knowledge about the utilization of banana fibre in the textile and the paper industries as well as the biodegradable packaging materials.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Обоснование. Переработка сельскохозяйственных отходов является одним из практических направлений реализации принципов циркулярной биоэкономики. Использование биологических остатков или отходов для создания экологически чистых биоразлагаемых материалов – это способ достижения устойчивого развития. Выращивание популярных и богатых питательными веществами плодов растения банана (Musa spp.) сопровождается образованием значительного объема биомассы.</p> <p>Цель – изучить потенциал бананового волокна в рамках концепции устойчивой круговой биоэкономики.</p> <p>Материалы и методы. В ходе исследования был применен комплекс взаимодополняющих методов, включающий абстрактно-логический, графический, сравнительный анализ, систематизацию и обобщение данных. Эмпирическая основа исследования базируется на статистических данных Продовольственной и Сельскохозяйственной Организации Объединенных Наций. Теоретической основой исследования послужили научные труды из рецензируемых профильных журналов.</p> <p>Результаты. Исследование показало, что банановые волокна считаются экологически чистым материалом, способным эффективно заменить синтетические аналоги. Анализ научных работ выявил, что в настоящее время в мире растет спрос на использование побочных продуктов производства бананов (псевдостебель и банановых листьев) для создания новых продуктов на промышленном уровне. Приведено ботаническое описание растения банан, что позволяет глубже понять потенциал данного растения для переработки. Определены и изучены крупнейшие страны производители бананов и плантайнов. Обобщены знания об использовании бананового волокна в текстильной и бумажной промышленности, а также в качестве биоразлагаемого упаковочного материала.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>sustainability</kwd><kwd>circular economy</kwd><kwd>bioeconomy</kwd><kwd>biomass</kwd><kwd>circular bioeconomy</kwd><kwd>agricultural waste</kwd><kwd>banana by-product</kwd><kwd>banana fibre</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>устойчивое развитие</kwd><kwd>экономика замкнутого цикла</kwd><kwd>биоэкономика</kwd><kwd>биомасса</kwd><kwd>циркулярная биоэкономика</kwd><kwd>сельскохозяйственные отходы</kwd><kwd>побочный продукт производства бананов</kwd><kwd>банановое волокно</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Adarchenko, I., Kurbatova, A., Porotnikova, N., Savenkova, E., Kumar, V., &amp; Skorokhodova, Y.
