Piñatex

Piñatex is an innovative natural textile made from pineapple leaf fibre. The leaves are a by-product of the pineapple harvest, so no extra land, water, fertiliser or pesticides are required to produce the raw material. The pineapple leaves are gathered, decorticated to remove the fibre and processed into a non-woven textile in the Philippines and then sent to Spain for specialised finishing.
