We've been using pineapple fiber for our clothes here in the Philippines a long time ago, we call it piña fiber. It's being use for our traditional clothes.
This is from the Philippines. This is a london based company using Philippine pineapples and technique to make these fabric
@@GrimYakyes this is true… but Piña Fiber existed in the Philippines way before Piñatex… (a modern take on it) as far back as the 17th century… 😅

The Indigenous Peoples of the americas cultivated pineapples and used them in many ways as well 3,000 years before the Europeans discovered them and introduced them to the rest of the world including Europe and Asia.

Pineapple fiber as a fabric material is popular here in the Philippines and it is called piña. It started as early as 17th century brought by the Spaniards and it is considered to be a luxury textile because it still is made manually. It is very labor intensive to make and the price also depend on the design of the weave.
Western loves credit grabbing they always think they’re pioneers 😂
@@icared4338Or you could watch the whole video and realize that the person credits the Philippines and even in the short they mention it's not an original idea to use the pineapple fibers.
However they, the creator of this particular product, still are pioneers as they are manufacturing and mass producing the usage of these fibers which no one else has done. Through mass production it'll drastically lower the expenses of these fibers which isn't something the Philippines is doing.

What an amazing use of previously discarded waste. I’d absolutely wear piñatex! I love pineapple and I love reusing, reducing, recycling, and repurposing. Bravo to the woman who developed this material.
Yes!!! So awesome! I love it'd love to support her and her company - we need more innovative renewable resources like this, so cool! I'm going to Google to find the yarn to crochet with!
This I highly approve of. Waste not, want not.
The more uses we can get out of something, the better.
I already commented this but I don't throw away food at all and when I have leftovers I make burrito wraps out of my leftovers and it is really yummy. You can add anything to it. I keep burrito wraps in the freezer. That's a quick snack or a meal with leftovers.✌️
It's not clear whether they have no use for 5% of the leaves - or if the material made contains 5% synthetic.
@@Les445gross
No one cares about your approval 💀💀💀
We have no shortage of anything in this planet. When you have govts pay their farmers money to NOT grow food, sit on ships for months so the food spoils, is clear fact that the elites want control through shortages.
If you don’t believe me, look at the OPEC fuel shortage and what it did. Just look at what the globalist are doing now with food, oil, gas, money, taking farmland from owners etc.

@@Crunch_dGH You are 👍. God saves too or Allah.
@@Crunch_dGH from pineapple leaves?😂
Except the end result is not recyclable, the pineapple leaves are biodegradable, the leather made from it is not, don't you see this is the problem with most green products, the big lie, plastic before its recycled is more biodegradable than recycled plastic, plastic when it's first made the polymer stands are longest and will take a very long time to degrade in to micro plastics as all the strands have to break down first, when it's recycled those strands are broken down already so the end result degrades much faster and can no longer be recycled, just like the products it takes to make electric cars, the footprint of manufacturing on a large scale is way worse than that of combustion cars
These are the lind of people busy saving the planet not smug celebrities jetting around trying to tell us what to think.

I love how she said that they still had 5% to work on being renewable. Most companies would look at that 95% and pat themselves on the back, but she's sitting there like "Almost got it."
because more often than not those remaining 5% are what makes a product work as good as it does. Sure you can go for 100% renewablity but chances are high that it would mean your product only lasts for a fraction of the time it would if it wasnt 100% renewable.
Why do you love that, it doesn't change anything, it's like saying that you absolutely love that thief is open about his theft while he continues to do it unlike those awful thiefs who hide with their stealing, that make absolutely no sense
@@maya_void3923 Huh???
Any and all companies try to cut costs and market renewable bullshit. Most "renewable" products only end up in dumps regardless how fancy recycling setups suppose to be and plants like coconut trees wreck havoc to ground depleting it from nutrients and turning it toxic to other plans for years. Similarly when you turn these fibers into materials those rob the area from nutrients requiring those nutrients be replenished from other sources. Hemp would be much better source of fibers and can be used to kill weeds naturally if farmed for every few years.
@maya_void3923 ..you know what absolutely makes no sense ?..... . . .your comment.
This technique of fiber making from pineapple leaves is originated in the Philippines.
Philippines is already practicing making it since 17th century. The pineapple leaves are scrap inorder to get the fiber called "piña". The The piña fabrics then weave and turned to clothes.
Now in advance technology they're making a pineapple leather shoes,,,,in China bamboo bags
Piña means pineapple.
She's is truly the queen of recycling & OMG I am loving this direction. " we've got 5% to work on" She's AMAZING AMEN 🙏
shes a Capitalist. nice job !
It's a biodegradable organic material. Recycling isn't necessary. If it makes a good product great, but it's not anything special.

@@BEAUTYnIQ thieve would make more sense.. she's the one benefiting the MOST ripping off Filipino culture
Here in the Philippines, our cultural dress like "Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana Dress" are made from pineapple leaves or what we call it "Piña Fabric". It is really amazing 👏👏👏❤❤❤
That's cool!
Amazing and very expensive in Philippines, because 1 barong tagalog are lots of work to made
I’m Filipino and I didn’t even know this. Thank you for sharing. MABUHAY!
FYI, for centuries, in the Philippines they extract fibre from pineapple leaves to make traditional cloth called Barong. To be clear, Barong can also be made from other materials such as abaca.
They’ve been making fine clothing from pineapple fibers in the Philippines for centuries through the present. It’s not a lost art but a good application of it on a larger scale for commercial purposes.
Sweet clothes 😂😂
@@rodhipps6378nice 😂
Every time they discover an ancient idea they present to the world as an original creation of their making. They should say we are bringing this ancient fabric making process to the world at large. To tell the truth, there is nothing new under the sun. Western greed must own everything so the rest of us can become slave under them.
Piña barong !!!!
as the west always does, do something which is already done by other cultures. make it a bit efficient, and take all the credit.
The use of pineapple textile made into clothes started in the Philippines. Also abaca, banana, bamboo, & other plant fibrous materials.
Philippines and some rural parts of the world.
nobody cares about the Philippines
I think it’s been used in several parts of the world historically.
@@geekchick4859Yeah, in Hawai'i the traditional way to make cloth is by using the fiber from natve fig trees, and there are definitely other traditional felt-like textiles made using plant fibers.
This is super cool, though! May her business thrive!!
I remember seeing my mom spinning some bamboo fiber she got. She also tried out fiber made from coke cans.
Pineapple fabric has been used in the Philippines for centuries now and is pretty expensive. Imagine my surprise when they said that pineapple leaves are useless
The title even implies they came up with it.
"This designer created" when the word "adopted" would ring more true.

It contains plastic called PLA which takes 80 years or more to break down. It’s found in landfills, our oceans as well as in animals.

@@SecretSquirrelFunid rather be exposed to PLA then PET or other plastics.
@@harryw.174 agreed - I was just pointing out that it does indeed contain plastic. 👍🏽🙂
Plants have feelings too. Dont hurt them.
Nothing can replace genuine leather and never should but making a material similar to it is pretty innovative.
True however leather is only suitable for countries with cold weather. A tropical country like the Philippines, where this was invented, would find piña fabric more comfortable wear. 🌞
and she still wants to work on that last 5%!?!? i love her already 😫
5% at 500% of the cost!
White people at it, again
5% with 10x more energy cost and 5% of million tons of non-renewable waste
The 5 percent is a preservative.....can't do anything about that
That 95% is great. If 100% then that's cool.
That's a lot of tonnage of waste saved.
PiNYA TEXTILE has been used in the Philippines for more than a century now. One of the most expensive textile
If it’s waste plant material, wondering why it’s so expensive? A lot of processing, or…?
@@Snookscatprocessing always costs money. Even recycled things take tons of resources to make, sometimes more than producing the original product (ex. Paper).
That's true but if there's no cotton or leather things like plant fiber is the answer.Hempfor rope or cloth plant fiber is just fiber
It never needed reviving. Pineapple fabric, also called “jusi” has always been in use as a fabric for traditional Filipino clothes in the Philippines since forever even till now.
No es lo mismo
Someone needs to create an alternative with Piñatex to the plastic bags you get oranges, avocados, and onions in. Make bags out of pineapple, and then we can compost them. There would be a HUGE market for these compostable bags.
They already make alternative bags from hemp and bamboo. It’s just too expensive to use in grocery stores. Trendy restaurants use them for take out. Same for utensils out of bamboo.
@williammills5597 Are we talking a quarter a bag more, a dollar? what do you think? Because I 'd be willing to pay more not to have a plastic bag. And why is it so much more expensive? New technology?
@@rebeccaevans5779 There is an analysis of bags and actually the most sustainable is the reusable plastic one. The hennep and other kinds require too many resources during production which makes it that they need to be used way too much before they become the interesting option.
What about people with pineapple allergies? I’m allergic to all bromeliads. I’d possibly get contact rashes or blisters from touching them. Unless it was seriously treated before it became commercially available. It could cause serious lawsuits if someone reacted worse than I do. I can’t see it happening, sorry. It’s a good idea for clothing or shoes and things like umbrellas though. As long as it doesn’t take lots of electricity/energy to turn it into a leather substitute. ‘Cause that’s the kicker, we get told it’s super renewable (wow) but if it costs more carbon emissions to make it in the first place, what’s the point?
@@rebeccaevans5779a plastic bag costs like a penny to make. Unless they can make a compostable alternative cheaper than that it won't get adopted.

Philippines scraped pineapple leaves until fibers revealed, philippines is the first one to that technique. During pre hispanic period late back year 1500s to early 1800s. During that time the clothes filipino wearing called “Filipiniana “ because it is made from
Pineapple fabric.
Pineapples were introduced to the Philippines in the mid 1500’s. The use of pineapple fiber originates in precolonial America

@@adelarpesqueira8405 Just because the fruit came from the Americas, doesn't mean the Americas would claim any products that came from the fruit by association. If what you say is true, then the Spanish colonizers would've pointed that out. However, if my assumptions are lacking, then feel free to type in the type of cloth that precolonial Americans used that has pineapple fiber in it because yt can't make hyperlinks most of the time in the comments anymore.
@@PrincessPeachyTort how did they make pineapple fabric since forever if they didn’t have pineapples until 400 years ago? The plant is native to eastern South America.

@@thelifeofpokenzo5521Information always changes whenever something new happened. There's that one day an inventor reinvented a thing but the original inventor doesn't get recognized until some decades later. So calling it an "old method" is more accurate but you will never know that if the Philippines' people method is actually the original method.
@mousesunset also there's the question of if she modified the technique to be different enough just to be it's own thing.
that's a really smart business idea. Saw unnecessarily discarded resources and put them into good use.
As a spinner/knitter/crocheter, I'd love to get access to the fibers to work with! I love experimenting with new fibers, and I love pineapple 🍍
There is large Spider in the Philippines called Gagambang Hari or King Spider it's web is durable and can be weave like silk this might be the fiber that might interest you
Philippines has been using pineapple fabric for centuries (since spanish colonial era). The traditional filipiniana used to be made of this fabric.
No a white lady invented it didn't you see the video?
I kid
The owner of this company is Spanish and she sources her fibres from the Phils. She knows history.
Besides the centuries-old technique used in the Philipine to extract fibers from the pineapple leaves to create amazingly beautiful cloths, the chopped-up pineapple leaves have been used for centuries as a fertilizer in many countries, including Mexico.
The pressing machine says:
The Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority or PhilFIDA (Filipino: Pangasiwaan sa Pagpapaunlad ng Industriya ng Himaymay) is an agency of the Philippine Department of Agriculture responsible for promoting the accelerated growth and development of the fiber industry in the Philippines, such as abaca, also known as as Manila hemp and cotton.
Yup, i think she got the idea locally...not her very own.

@InsiderBusiness Miss Carmen got her idea when she visited the Philippines, particularly in Luzon when saw that it was woven into clothes our very own barong Tagalog and she acknowledged it. She gets her pineapple leaf fiber from DOLE Philippines (a pineapple plantation), the largest and biggest in the Far East. Give credit to where credit is due - The Philippines!
I just want to add this because of some of the comments below.
To everyone whose comments somewhat deviate from the topic I mentioned. I just called the attention of InsiderBusiness whose short video portrayed the affable Dr. Carmen as if she discovered the product on her own accord.
This is all about Pinatex, a nonwoven textile, which was created from the waste of pineapple plant fiber. This Pinatex was the result of the collaboration between the Department of Agriculture here in the Philippines and the Labo Progressive Multipurpose Cooperative in Camarines Norte, Philippines, and Dr. Camen's team. This is a B2B model to help the local farmer. The research was done in London. So, why can't they give credit to the Philippines? After all, this is a new product created in collaboration or in fact, was created/discovered to help the local Filipino farmer. Even Rihanna, the singer, endorsed it by wearing shoes proudly saying it was made from the Philippines' pineapple fiber...then Puma, then Nike. It took the team more than a decade to create Pinatex from the pineapple plant's waste materials.
Which the Spaniards introduced. Pineapples are originally from South America.
@@Yolk421 correct! And what is your point?
@@sigfred8777 so give credit to the originals

@@Yolk421 What are you talking about? I'm talking about how it was used and who used it in such a way.
@@sigfred8777 yes look up the history, it didn’t start in the Philippines. It was brought by the Spaniards with also bringing the methods to make that specific textile, which the Philippines adapted too easily because they used similar methods on other natural fibers.

The problem early on was that there was no scrim to hold the sheets together. When pulled they tended to split. The answer was to use longer fibers. But these affected the look of the finished material. So a normal scrim was inserted in the middle of the sheet. The binding agent is acrylic polymer.
Like every other plant based "leather" it ultimately relies on plastic to make.
I have the raw material in plenty😮
I would totally purchase this instead of leather made. Hand bags, back packs, shoes…endless possibilities! I love this!
pineaple fiver here in Philipines called sinamay.its been a long long time Filipino are weaving it for clothing that is use in making our native dress called kimona for ladies and barong tagalog for men.

This fabric is not new and is being used in and manufactured in the Philippines called Piña.
Piña is a traditional Philippine fiber made from the leaves of the pineapple plant. Pineapples are indigenous to South America but have been widely cultivated in the Philippines since the 17th century, and used for weaving lustrous lace-like luxury textiles known as nipis fabric

So is burlap. You just have to line it.
Genius. These are the things that should be news worthy
YES!
Absolutely!
I can't wait until we can just throw away the skins of animals.
The news dont care about stuff like this
@@leveljoe Right? Lol. Leather is a by product of the slaughtering process. Most everyone eats meat. Every part of the animal is used. People act like the animals are killed just for their skin and the meat is discarded with the trash. Can't reason with fanatics because their logic is gone.
Need more resourceful persons like this , beautiful !!!!
yea, funny thing is that , climate change activist and JSO are blocking roads which cause fumes and problem to others, while the normal people here are using all their knowledge to create a waste less product which is greener than ever.
I love this so so much the leather alternative is so wonderful🫶 I love the scraps r being used thts the way everything should be😴🫶🫶
I love this. I wish other people would make things renewable
I love how she puts it with the 5% situation. True heroes do like that.
Great ideas like this should be encouraged in every industry when possible. When will the rest of the world learn to stop wasting our resources.
This is an amazing way of diverting solid waste fr pineapple leaves to a more useful materials used in the production of shoes and fabrics. Here in the Philippines, we used pineapple leaves in the production of Barong Tagalog, our National Costume.
These are the people we should be listening too also celebrating and awarding them not celebrities or this woke bullshit but these humble people who are actually making humanity better and helping too save the planet awsome
this is stolen tech.
@@thalassaer4137 I really don't care it doesn't take anything away from my point but thanks for letting me know
Pineapple(crown) is a common fabric in the Philippines.
It is use to make Barong Tagalog (national clothes of the Philippines).
And yes its been used for centuries, looks like she's a Pilipino and the workers as well.
Western loves credit grabbing they always think they’re pioneers 😂
Blankets are made from pineapples thousands of years ago in the Philippines. My favorite soft blanket.
It is already well known in the fashion industry that Philippines is home to designer's clothings made of Pineapple Fiber material.
This woman is genius she deserves nobel price for sure... Great job lady ma'am...
Just love how every part is used - it’s so satisfying to watch.
This Latina is a Hero to the
Environment and she makes
Money doing so! Awesome thanks! Muchas Gracias! ❤
That technology is being used in the Philippines for eons. We use the pineapple textile in making formal dresses and clothes particularly in "barong tagalog" and "baro't saya".
Was about to say this
They don’t look like leather
The waste part of the pineapple is not worthless. It’s a fruit that enriches the soil. It’s organic materials that go back into the earth.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Still a good idea to utilize the leaves.
Sounds like a win win in either case.
It’s the toxic waste we need to worry about, not pineapples.
Good for her! We waste so much. It's always wonderful to see new and better ideas to make full use of any item.
Filipinos were using pineapple leaves decades ago to make barong, the filipino national outfit.
kinda sad that she's extracting all the wealth from it.. and not Filipinos..
They'd claim it's their discovery. Sorry.
We've always been using pineapple fibers to make our formal traditional clothes in the Philippines. It's actually considered as the most expensive type of making such clothes.
Western loves credit grabbing they always think they’re pioneers 😂
Brilliant woman who is repurposing natural resources and avoiding pollution, killing and waste.
You are a woman beast! I remember being able to refurbish and remodel 35 years ago, unfortunately I’m 66 now and have a hard time due to illnesses. Thank you for posting this, it brought me back to better days. YOU are AWESOMELY AMAZING!!! ❤
Fum Fact... We use The Pineapple Fiber here in the Philippines to make our traditional Clothes... It's much better if its done by hand not machine... I appreciated it more cause some people work hard to weave and create such master piece
And its much costly here cause
They are made by the hands of artistic people
I'm surprised she hasn't been *silenced* by bigger industry.. God bless her this is amazing
Because it helps bigger industry, its literally cheaper than actual leather, are you a baffoon? use your brain, with this, the rich will make even more money since they make less expenses,
same reason why recycling exists which is actually more harmful than throwing it away, as all of that stuff is being used in high tempature smelters that pump out lots of co2, but recycled stuff is free for companies, so thats why it exists
Well, we're not talking about running oil companies or big pharma out of business here... this is just an alternative to leather lol, and there will ALWAYS be a demand for real leather.
@@ryanfallon Yeah it's fantastic we have a who cares not as good replacement for leather and we get to use things that would just become nutrients for soil to do so! It is really amazing and I am sure all the machinery and transport of the material that never needed to be transported before to make a sub par replacement for a product we already have will turn the world green in no time!!!!!!
This is fabulous. Makes a nicely textured fiber, too.
Could muscadine wild grape 🍇 skin be used for this?
It's written on the truck, T'boli Farm. That's in Mindanao, Philippines. The locals have been making Piña fabric for ages already I think as early as the 17th century during the Spanish colonial era.
The moment you realize Filipino traditional formal clothing is made from pineapple fibers its called "barong", to hell with your "new type of yarn".
Barong may be traditionally made from something similar to the pineapple plant, but the plant is native to the Paraná river basin. It's original names are ananá which is tupi for 'excelent fruit' and yvakatî which is guarani for 'fragrant fruit'
My grandma used to èxtract fiber from pineapple. Ang loom it to make mosquito net.
Your Anana might be originated in Parana river
basin but your favorite mango fruit originated
from Philippines.
@rijinn727
To Hell? Bakit? Inggit ka?Aminado sila na na-inspire sila sa Pinas pero gumagawa sila ng mas mabuting sinulid at leather at pang maramihan pa. Cottage industry lang sa Pinas at masyadong limitado.
It comes from the leaves, most succulents has these fibers, some stronger than others, has been in use for thousands of years
Two questions. Durability and cost?
Brilliant. We need more of stuff like this.
This textile has been in use for hundreds of years in the Philippines. It’s only now becoming mainstream.
The white lady making it mainstream, classic
We need more of this amazing women in our world! Very smart!
