⚪️ The country goes through roughly 12 million durians a year, so turning what otherwise would be thrown out and burned into an item people use regularly is a pretty big win in sustainability.
⚪️ Other benefits from using the king of all fruits is that the result keeps wound areas cooler and moist, thus speeding up the healing process.
⚪️ Also, production is cheaper than traditional bandages because there no longer is a need for metallic compounds that can be quite expensive.
