Pineapple leaf fibre
Fine, strong fibre extracted from pineapple leaves, an agricultural by-product, prepared for textile, craft and composite applications.
Available for wholesale and export orders
Overview
Pineapple leaves are left in the field after the fruit is harvested. Skilpack recovers them and extracts a fine, lustrous fibre that has long been valued in traditional textiles and is now sought after as a renewable alternative to synthetic fibre.
The fibre is cleaned, degummed and dried using the same controlled methods developed for our banana-fibre range, giving buyers a consistent raw material for spinning, blending and non-woven applications.
