Pineapple Leaves Fiber (PALF) products are textiles made from pineapple fiber, offering a natural, dry feel like linen. They are breathable, sweat-absorbent, and wrinkle-resistant, suitable for blending with other fibers. The innovative R&D extracts fiber from pineapple leaves for use in clothing, accessories, socks, and towels, replacing cotton and hemp. This reduces waste, lowers carbon emissions, and boosts product value for eco-friendly fashion. Compared to traditional fibers, pineapple leaf fiber uses significantly less water and emits fewer carbon emissions. Verified by the British Standards Institution (BSI), PALF's carbon footprint is 0.784 kg CO2 per kg, half that of cotton and one-tenth of flax. It uses only 0.2 tons of water per kg, 97% less than cotton. PALF is easy to obtain, cultivate, and transport. Its use enhances the economic value of pineapples, avoids carbon pollution from burning leaves, and balances aesthetics and environmental protection in fashion.
