A new class of plant-based synthetic leather has emerged called “Pinatex”, produced from pineapple leaves. Pineapple leaf fibers have excellent strength and flexibility, which are essential qualities required for leather making. The manufacturing process itself consumes limited resources and thus helps reduce carbon emissions.
