Ananas Anam launches a new plant-based textile solution: Piñayarn

Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Ananas Anam has introduced a next textile innovation made from pineapple leaf fibre: Piñayarn.
Press release: "Ananas Anam launches low impact yarn", 08/11/2022.

Piñayarn offers a 100% plant-based, recyclable, and biodegradable textile solution for a world otherwise dominated by petroleum-based textiles and resource intense virgin fibres. By repurposing waste leaves that would usually be burnt after the pineapple harvest, innovative technologies are used to extract the natural fibres and blend with other plant-based fibres into yarns for the textile market. The spinning technology used to create Piñayarn uses no water and zero harmful chemicals, making a naturally breathable and biodegradable yarn, with a low environmental impact.

Complementing the existing product offering of Ananas Anam (Piñatex), Piñayarn provides a second solution to support brands with reducing their environmental impact. As a versatile yarn, Piñayarn can be tailored to suit multiple applications across the fashion, footwear, and interior industries. Piñayarn has already captured the interest of global brands and innovators, with exciting collaborations emerging soon.
