    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, if you're wearing the Barong made with Piña fibers, there's a certain feeling of pride aside from you're wearing the national costume.

    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.

    Whenever I ate pineapple, I used the thick skins to mock and clean my countertop and bathroom tubs around the corners. The enzymes broke down dark mold.

    I just love everything about this video from thier idea to turn waste into eco friendly products and the kind person of lifepack who just let's the other company take the pineapple waste for free.
  • @rap3208
    The philippines has made the pineapple fiber to textiles for the barong for centuries, but nobody really sat down and did R&D to make it into other kinds of textiles for bags, clothes and other products. A shame.
  • Amazing! Thank you so much, Dr. Carmen, for creating jobs in my country. And for turning tons of waste to sustainable materials. 😍
  • Further proof that it's possible to be eco friendly and not wasteful if only people weren't so greedy. Happy to see a lot of start ups like this one trying to use everything we grow and not just throw it away.
  • @valbain209
    All these people with their products are absolutely pure genius! Kudos and more kudos to all these people! I want to buy these products.
  • @pr0n3
    Glad to see innovative people come up with new ways to turn waste products into new useful products. I hope this doesn't go the way of hemp did when the de-cortication machine came out and the paper/tree lobbyists got angry they were infringing on their profits.
  • We grow organic pineapple in Brazil and we are looking forward to create nem organic products from pineapple as well. That's a fantastic fruit!
  • @BigDipper79
    This is what human ingenuity is all about. Very cool to see this.
  • It makes me feel actually proud of humanity when ppl like this exist to literally use creative entrepreneurship into value for all involved without hurting a current crop nor having to create space for a whole new crop.
  • Great to see how waste is used and turned into new products! Amazing example of sustainability🌍🙌🏼
  • @benben2979
    👏👏 she helped the farmers more than our government should help our own.
  • @sairamsk3206
    Wow! These are wonders of ideas and companies that gonna really make a magnificent change to this rotting pineapple disaster. Let's support them for a better Earth.
  • @sairamsk3206
    Pineapples are very rich in acidity. So, When fermentation releases those acids from pineapples it kills microorganisms. We know that many microorganisms can't survive in acid. Let's support wonderful ideas.
  • @Useryvqe762
    Wow! I love these innovative pineapple products. Environment friendly. We should all try to be supportive of these eco-friendly endeavours. 😊
