Just like cotton and jute, even pineapple fibre can one day turn into a low costing yet high-profit clothing. We need to support these wonderful start-ups that can make an elegant change to a rotting disaster.

In the Philippines, Pineapple tusks are made into fibers for traditional Filipino clothing since the 18th century during Spanish colonial times. The chopped Pineapples skins are being utilized as cow feeds in some cattle ranches in Bukidnon, Mindanao. Everything has its usage from these fruits. Del Monte Pineapple Plantation is located in Bukidnon in Mindanao as well Dole Pineapple Plantation.

In fact i recognize some of the places in pinatex's stock vids. Hope they can also find a way to make production sustainable. To produce the final product, the materials need to hop among 3 countries at least so i guess that's also something they need to work on. But they're on the right track

While growing up, waste was not a part of my grandfather's vocabulary, nor in his dictionary. For example, the coconut was used in it's entirety. The meat, the trash for the chickens. the shell as utensils for the kitchen or for use in the fields, then the shell was turned to ashes for the plants. The coconut worms from the rotting tree, then the tree itself was used to boil the cane juice for sugar, then the ashes was buried as compost. Nothing to throw away. The pineapple was washed, bottled and the skin was crushed , lime, sugar, and ginger were added to make a delicious drink, for sale. The residue was buried deep to nurture the soil
