Key innovations
Piñayarn provides a 100% plant-based, recyclable and biodegradable textile solution for a world dominated by petroleum-based textiles and resource-intensive virgin fibers.
Potential climate benefits
The pineapple leaf fiber used to make Piñayarn is an agricultural waste, which means that no additional resources are needed to produce this raw material. Through waste utilization, the burning amount of pineapple leaves is reduced, which is equivalent to reducing 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions for every 1 kilogram of yarn produced.
