Elevator Pitch

Creation of textiles from vegetable fibers which come from the leaves of pineapple and banana crops, leaves that are classified as residues at the end of the fruit harvest. In addition, the coloring of textiles with natural pigments. With these residues, not only the creation of a product (fabrics) is sought, but also the mitigation of the damage caused by the textile industry such as agriculture.

Climate Problem

The customer who would pay for this product are all clothing manufacturers that are committed to caring for the environment and want to provide sustainable alternatives to their customers.
