Future Prospect for Sustainable Luxury Textiles from Pineapple Leaf Fibre - An Agro Waste by Syamal Kumar Dey in Latest Trends in Textile and Fashion Designing (LTTFD) in Lupine Publishers.
The treasure of Major natural fibres belongs to cotton, jute, wool,
silk, flax, sisal and Manila hemp which are extensively used across the
globe. Besides, a large number of fibres grown in lesser quantities
throughout the world have local economic importance and are consumed
locally. Utilization of underexploited, unexplored natural fibres from
crop waste are not only critical issues in the international scenario
but are also the need of the hour in developing countries like India to
search out a suitable avenue for which separate spinning system is not
widely available or established. Pine apple leaf fibre successfully
tested as a base material for conveyor belts in the early eighties,
could well have been the magic yarn of the day. Pineapple leaf fibre
extracted from the green pineapple leaf, an agro waste reveals its
immense potentiality in the field of textiles particularly due to the
disposal problem after harvesting for cleaner and green environment.
