Innovative Pathways for Sustainable Textiles with Pineapple Leaf Fiber

Pioneering Sustainability: Pineapple Leaf Fiber in Modern Textiles

#

Green Cycling: Our Core Strengths

#

Environmental Sustainability

#

Our low-carbon yarn production process effectively recycles pineapple leaves, enhancing the economic value of pineapple fruit while preventing carbon emissions from incineration. Biomass sludge is converted into fertilizer, further supporting a circular economy. Our pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) is certified with a minimal carbon footprint of just 0.784 kg CO2e, according to ISO 14067:2018. Utilizing pineapple leaves saves 2.4 metric tons of carbon emissions per metric ton and reduces water usage by 97% compared to cotton.

Social Value

#

By sourcing pineapple leaves from local farmers, we improve rural economic conditions and strengthen the rural labor force, supporting community development.

Quality Assurance

#

We recycle waste pineapple leaves grown organically, using advanced extraction and exclusive yarn production technologies to ensure consistent, high-quality fiber.

Material Sourcing and Production Process

#

High-Efficiency Extraction Technology

#

Leveraging Taiwan’s expertise in organic farming, textile technology, and machine tool industries, we have developed a process to recycle agricultural waste into valuable fibers. The process includes:

1. Collection of recycled organic pineapple leaves
2. Extraction of pineapple leaf fiber
3. Blending with other fibers
4. Spinning into various yarns
5. Weaving into diverse fabrics
6. Production of ready-to-wear garments

Our transparent supply chain ensures traceability, with pineapple leaves sourced from MOA-certified organic farms in Southern Taiwan. PALF is a unique local fiber, contributing to Taiwan’s textile identity.
