In the Philippines, Pineapple tusks are made into fibers for traditional Filipino clothing since the 18th century during Spanish colonial times. The chopped Pineapples skins are being utilized as cow feeds in some cattle ranches in Bukidnon, Mindanao. Everything has its usage from these fruits. Del Monte Pineapple Plantation is located in Bukidnon in Mindanao as well Dole Pineapple Plantation.

Wow! These are wonders of ideas and companies that gonna really make a magnificent change to this rotting pineapple disaster. Let's support them for a better Earth.

Loved the idea of using pineapple leaves for extracting fibre. This can be implemented in Meghalaya, India too as the region produces a lot of pineapple each year. Even Banana trunks can be used to extract fibre I guess.

Im glad they acknowledge the 5% gap. Hearing they use petroleum kinda me grimace lol anyway, the company has positively impacted my municipality thru its partnership with a local cooperative. In fact i recognize some of the places in pinatex's stock vids. Hope they can also find a way to make production sustainable. To produce the final product, the materials need to hop among 3 countries at least so i guess that's also something they need to work on. But they're on the right track

Those seed plates are an absolute brilliant idea!

Everything on this earth is usable!!!. Humankind just needs to be more involved, in the realization ,of how it gets accomplished .

The last gentleman that makes the soaps and cleaners is an absolute angel. Used the pineapples to help his wife and still help others too 🙏🏾❤

Good to see agricultural waste reused. I spent my entire career in recycling and love seeing innovative uses.

It's a huge hit in Thailand. There are many formula. One of them is here in this vid. Many came from grandma who believe it's the right way.

In the late 1700s and early 1800s pineapples were such an expensive luxury that middle class individuals would rent them to make their dinner party seem more extravagant. The cost was equivalent to $8,000 today.

We use the peeling off the fruit, together with molasses, and spices to make pineapple vinegar, a main ingredient in "curtido", - Salvadoran sauerkraut -.

Thank you all. These are the wonderful problem solutions that our World needs. May your wonderful development continue on to many more once considered a waist to something we all can use.

This is so wonderful. I think there is more good done in the world than the typical narrative most mainstream media tells us for viewership through their sensational headlines and doomsday narrative. This innovation to better humanity and the ecology is what we need to consume more.

While growing up, waste was not a part of my grandfather's vocabulary, nor in his dictionary. For example, the coconut was used in it's entirety. The meat, the trash for the chickens. the shell as utensils for the kitchen or for use in the fields, then the shell was turned to ashes for the plants. The coconut worms from the rotting tree, then the tree itself was used to boil the cane juice for sugar, then the ashes was buried as compost. Nothing to throw away. The pineapple was washed, bottled and the skin was crushed , lime, sugar, and ginger were added to make a delicious drink, for sale. The residue was buried deep to nurture the soil

Interesante como cada año descubrimos diferentes maneras de parar la contaminación. Solo queda apoyar estos proyectos 😊

Excited to see the development of enzyme based cleaners like this. For those of us with worm based septic systems we are really limited to the cleaning products that we can use - still have to be careful with a I'd levels though! Our worms don't like pickles lol.

I hope they can expand the manufacturing in philippines. So we can have local product grow.

I really like the idea of using every part of a plant, and not throwing things into landfill.

You will never get away completely from petroleum and other industrial products. It is the percentage and how it is processed that counts. Just because there is petrol involved is not necessarily bad. I like what they are doing.
