A Singapore-based materials science startup has launched its new facility to provide sustainable alternative fiber to the textile industry.
Nextevo’s plant transforms pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) into ready-to-spin (RTS) fiber using the company’s efficient mechanical process for scalable production. The company’s products target the apparel, home textiles, accessories, footwear and automotive interiors markets.
Product materials include pineapple RTS fiber, processed in-house; blended yarn, and blended fabric. The offerings are customizable for spinners, yarn producers and brands – from raw materials to semi-finished textiles.
Nextevo sources pineapple leaf fiber from the Philippines, Indonesia and East Africa and will soon source from India and Vietnam as well. The new facility is located in Dong Nai province, situated in proximity to major seaports, Ho Chi Minh City and vertically integrated textile manufacturers.
“The compelling story and benefits of pineapple fiber will surely resonate with consumers and brands alike,” said Harold Koh, founder and CEO of Nextevo. “We are excited to unveil this sustainable fiber to the textile industry, as we are able to produce it at scale in our own facility to serve our customers consistently.”
