Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology.-- Bachelor of Technology in Apparel and Fashion Technology: Technological University Of The Philippines, Manila. 2024 Summary: The development of woven fabric by using fibers obtained from the leaf stalks of the False Bird of Paradise (Heliconia) plant is an agriculture byproduct that is normally dumped as floral waste and is considered an invasive plant. The fiber extraction process is quite complicated and consists of several methods, such as water retting, chemical treatments, and mechanical procedures, such as scraping, combing, and leg rolling for cordage and weaving. The finished fabric consists of a 50:50 ratio, 50 percent cotton for warp, and 50 percent fiber from the False Bird of Paradise for weft. The testing facility managed to verify this through performance testing when being tried with a tensile strength of 219 Newtons/30mm, a ripping strength of 28 Newtons/60mm, and a resistance to flammability of up to 195 degrees Celsius as a result. Besides, the fabric passed the tests for abrasion resistance, thus confirming its Durability. It was introduced to 50 people, such as fashion professors, weavers, garment merchandisers, and likely buyers, who were supposed to evaluate its Functionality, Aesthetics, Durability, and Marketability. The respondents had a very positive attitude toward the fabric; thus, the fabric was rated "Highly Acceptable" on all points. One of the applications used in False Bird of Paradise leaf stalk is fabric, an alternative raw material in the fashion industry. This crop waste collaborates with environmental matters, works on sustainability concepts in practices, and contributes to the increased use of artificial materials. However, this again shows that with environmental needs, innovations address economic opportunities first and support industries, prioritizing green solutions; this fabric's further development shall be a source of making real differences in producing sustainable textiles.

The development of woven fabric by using fibers obtained from the leaf stalks of the False
Bird of Paradise (Heliconia) plant is an agriculture byproduct that is normally dumped as
floral waste and is considered an invasive plant. The fiber extraction process is quite
complicated and consists of several methods, such as water retting, chemical treatments,
and mechanical procedures, such as scraping, combing, and leg rolling for cordage and
weaving. The finished fabric consists of a 50:50 ratio, 50 percent cotton for warp, and 50
percent fiber from the False Bird of Paradise for weft. The testing facility managed to verify
this through performance testing when being tried with a tensile strength of 219
Newtons/30mm, a ripping strength of 28 Newtons/60mm, and a resistance to flammability
of up to 195 degrees Celsius as a result. Besides, the fabric passed the tests for abrasion
resistance, thus confirming its Durability. It was introduced to 50 people, such as fashion
professors, weavers, garment merchandisers, and likely buyers, who were supposed to
evaluate its Functionality, Aesthetics, Durability, and Marketability. The respondents had
a very positive attitude toward the fabric; thus, the fabric was rated "Highly Acceptable"
on all points. One of the applications used in False Bird of Paradise leaf stalk is fabric, an
alternative raw material in the fashion industry. This crop waste collaborates with
environmental matters, works on sustainability concepts in practices, and contributes to the
increased use of artificial materials. However, this again shows that with environmental
needs, innovations address economic opportunities first and support industries, prioritizing
green solutions; this fabric's further development shall be a source of making real
differences in producing sustainable textiles.
