Bunanas Turned into Socks

Oct. 17, 2025 - YUI Co., Ltd. Launches "B.motion" via Kickstarter: Turning Discarded Banana Stems into Sustainable Socks

Minamiawaji, Hyogo, Japan



1. Introduction: A New Era Where Sustainability Meets Functionality

YUI Co., Ltd. proudly announces the global debut of B.motion, a groundbreaking sock brand crafted from Bananacloth®︎ - an innovative natural fiber made from discarded banana stems.
B.motion isn't just a product - it's a movement connecting eco-innovation, Japanese craftsmanship, and modern lifestyle design.

From November 3 to December 26, the brand will be available exclusively through Kickstarter, inviting early supporters worldwide to join in reimagining how everyday essentials can be sustainable, stylish, and comfortable.



2. The Problem with Conventional Socks - and B.motion's Breakthrough Solution

Most socks today are made from polyester - affordable but prone to trapping heat and odor. B.motion changes that from the ground up, starting with its material innovation.

Made from Bananacloth®︎, B.motion socks provide:
• Excellent Breathability: The airy fiber structure promotes circulation, keeping feet fresh all day.
• Superior Moisture Control: Absorbs and releases sweat quickly to prevent dampness.
• Gentle Cushioning: A snug yet soft fit that supports prolonged wear.
• Natural Deodorization: Neutralizes 98% of ammonia odor caused by sweat, verified through lab testing.

No plastic. No odor. Just comfort born from nature.



3. Sustainability at the Core: The Story of Bananacloth®︎

B.motion redefines sustainability in textiles. The brand's signature material, Bananacloth®︎, is extracted from banana stems that would otherwise be discarded after harvest - giving agricultural waste a new life as high-quality fiber.

This philosophy aligns with YUI Co., Ltd.'s century-long legacy of craftsmanship and innovation since 1913. With B.motion, YUI continues its mission: creating products that care for both people and the planet.

Tagline: From Bananas to Motion - From Waste to Worth.
