Where waste becomes wonder
In the lush creek communities of Bayelsa State, Nigeria, plantain is more than food — it is livelihood, culture, and identity. But after every harvest, tonnes of plantain pseudo-stems are discarded, left to rot by the riverbanks of the Niger Delta.
Founded in December 2021 by Ms. Tare Robinson Korumene, ECO-FIP NIG. LTD was built on a single conviction: that Africa's agricultural waste could become the world's most sustainable luxury product.
Through years of research, refinement, and IP protection, ECO-FIP developed a proprietary process to transform plantain pseudo-stems into DUNNALLY Natural Plant-Based Hair Extension — 100% natural, biodegradable, scalp-safe, and Nigeria's first biodegradable hair extension made from plantain fibre.
Registered. Protected. Ready.
