Vegetable fibers from bananas, pineapples, and food waste are the same size combination of hemp, bamboo, and organic cotton.
Give the fiber anti-static and antibacterial characteristics, and can also block ultraviolet rays. Apart from being upcycled material, pineapple also has this property of a very strong fiber. Bamboo fabric has become a popular material among sustainable fashion brands, with the plant requiring less water, labour, and time to cultivate than other popular plants that are used as fabrics.
Sustainability
Bamboo is the fastest growing tree in the world. It naturally produces a bio agent that allows it to flourish in the wild without the use of pesticides. Bamboo rayon is antibacterial, sweat absorbent, hypoallergenic, breathable, and has a smooth finish without having to use chemical treat-
Pina fiber is from the leaves of the pineapple plant. It has seen rising demand in the eco market. Pineapple fibers are sustainable natural materials and demand for pina are increasing in the go-green market as technology progresses in using pina as an alternative to existing textiles and leather.

Sustainability
CO2 is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming and climate change by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When too much CO2 is released, it can harm the environment through climate change, ocean acidification, and air pollution. Excessive CO2 emissions can have significant negative impacts on our planet's ecosystems.
To address this issue, it is crucial to adopt carbon capture and reuse technology to make the most out of CO2 gas and promote sustainable development.
