"Piñatex^® is one of those rare products of design thinking that hits all the sustainability buttons at once: it is a material that is completely cradle to cradle, it substitutes leather that has a very heavy environmental and welfare impact, and it brings new income streams to subsistence farmers, allowing them to fully utilise their crops. The implementation of Piñatex^® will have far-reaching societal and environmental benefits.” Clare Brass

We are celebrating the end of another prosperous year with the PIÑATEX Remnants Sale!

This year has been full of exciting new launches and collaborations, and we can’t think of a better way to end it than with the launch of our last Remnants Sale of 2022.

The PIÑATEX Remnants Sale is based on our belief that everything has a purpose, including waste. Just as PIÑATEX is created from the leaf waste of the pineapple harvest, the Remnants Sale provides opportunity for amazing creations made from PIÑATEX off-cuts, ends of rolls and otherwise slightly imperfect material.

Each piece of PIÑATEX available in the Remnants Sale comes at a great price and holds the same technical characteristics as the textile we sell normally, with some imperfections such as extra marks, fibre flecks, stains, creasing, or discolouration.

There is limited stock available in the Remnants Sale, so move fast before your favourite colour is gone!

Shop now via the link in bio, or email info@ananas-anam.com for more information.

Our Founder Dr Carmen Hijosa is not just a passion

Our Founder Dr Carmen Hijosa is not just a passionate inventor, but a leading voice and a pioneer in sustainability - who not only resonates with the concepts from a rational perspective, but who lives to drive the important socio-economic transformation with all her heart and soul.

Carmen is a sought-after interviewee and keynote speaker, which means our week at Ananas Anam usually begins with journalists, film crews and a list of questions to be answered. This Monday morning we welcomed a wonderful Spanish crew to our facilities.

There are several questions that get repeatedly asked by many journalist- How did Carmen come up with the idea of Piñatex, why did she create a textile that can be used as an alternative to leather and how does she see the future of fashion industry? We will follow up with the answers to these questions this week here in Instagram.

Ananas Anam is on the route to reaching Net-Zero by 2025.

As a step towards reaching Net-Zero, we made a pledge that by the end of 2022 we would reduce our carbon footprint by a further 15% and we are pleased to confirm that we have achieved this goal!

This goal was reached through the implementation of more renewable energy sources, along with the hard work of the team to increase the efficiency of our production processes.

With a committed team and a network of likeminded suppliers and partners, we know that it is possible to reach our wider climate goals.
