Delhi University Banana Peel Leather showcases how student innovation can support sustainable fashion and reduce food waste. A team from Ramjas College spent nearly a year experimenting with fruit waste before discovering that banana peels offered the right combination of strength, flexibility, and durability to create a leather-like material named ‘Sahar’. The eco-friendly material is designed for products such as wallets, handbags, diary covers, and fashion accessories, with plans to explore larger applications in the future. The project aims to reduce dependence on animal leather while giving discarded kitchen waste a second life, highlighting how innovation and environmental responsibility can work together.
