Hsieh Huan-chi, an executive vice president of the New Taipei-headquartered company, told CNA that the carbon emission of their products made from the innovative fabric is 0.784 CO2e, (carbon dioxide equivalents) per kilogram, &#8220;lower than that for linen and cotton products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hsieh continued that Taiwan produces around 450-500 kilotonnes of pineapples annually, but there are around 800 kilotonnes of pineapple leaf by-product that are difficult to dispose of. Furthermore, the growth period of pineapples is about 18 months, exposing fruit farmers to significant risk in case of natural disasters or trade barriers, the businessman said.<\/p>\n<p>By reusing pineapple leaves and making them into clothing, UKL can help stabilize farmers&#8217; profits, Hsieh said, and the company is working with fruit farmers in Kaohsiung and Pingtung County to continue developing and innovating their clothing products to sell overseas.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/focustaiwan.tw\/business\/202409250017\">Focus Taiwan<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-598\/\">Taiwan company makes low carbon footprint fabric with pineapple leaves<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,913,16243,4582],"class_list":["post-133954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fabric","tag-pineapple-leaves","tag-taiwan"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133954\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
