High-tenacity natural fibers.
Two sustainable fibers from one platform — banana pseudostem and pineapple leaf (piña). Mechanically extracted, degummed, and combed into spinner-ready material that completely replaces synthetics.
Spinner-ready, naturally.
Mechanically extracted and degummed — no harsh chemistry. Banana pseudostem brings high tensile strength; pineapple piña adds fine denier and lustre for premium blends.
Frequently asked questions.
What feedstock does LeafTex use?
We upcycle three streams of agricultural and marine waste: banana pseudostem (post-harvest stems from banana FPOs), pineapple leaf waste, and responsibly-harvested macro-algae. All three are residues that would otherwise be burned, discarded, or left to rot.
What products do you make, and how are they related?
One integrated platform yields several commercial outputs: high-tenacity natural fibers (banana, pineapple), premium cruelty-free leathers — vegan leather plus biodegradable algae leather — and Leaf-Guard™, a starch-based edible coating that extends produce shelf-life by 40–60%. Diversifying outputs hedges market cycles and pushes feedstock utilization to 100%.
How does blockchain traceability work?
Every batch is minted on our native chain-of-custody ledger with origin, lot, and lifecycle data — from the partner farm cooperative through extraction, QA, and dispatch. Your QR-scanning customer can trace provenance right down to a specific grower.
How do I request pricing or a sample?
Pricing is quoted per spec and volume — head to the contact page and tell us your application (spinning, fashion, packhouse, packaging). We ship sample kits to spinners, brands, packhouses, and packagers within five business days.
