“…However, the yields of the central and lower zones are not very different, they are in the 11–12% range. The values obtained in this study are larger compared to the range of values (2.5–5.5 tex) reported by Pandit et al. (2020) .…”

“…Many studies ( Reshmy et al., 2020 ; Prado et al., 2020 ) have demonstrated the textile potential and the composite reinforcement potential of these fibers. Pineapple fiber is a secondary lignocellulosic fiber obtained from agricultural by-products or pineapple leaves and contains mainly cellulose (55–70%) and non-cellulose materials, namely hemicelluloses (15–20%), lignin (8–12%), pectin (2–4%), and low proportions of extractables (1–3%) (waxes and proteins) ( Pandit et al., 2020 ; Betene et al., 2020 ). Its crystalline structure is essentially composed of type I cellulose with crystallinity indices between 61-79% ( Neto et al., 2015 ).…”

“…However, these plants tend to grow at temperatures between 18-45 • C and at altitude below 800 mdpl, due to high altitude and extreme temperatures influencing the size and quality of pineapple plants [40]. With a fiber yield of 1.55% to 2.5% [43], pineapple leaf fibers could become a new source of raw material for industries [40], such as polymer composites reinforcement [42], and could also be used to replace synthetic fibers [40,43]. Additionally, they have a softer texture than other vegetable fibers [43], as well as a high strength and smooth surface [42].…”

Asian countries have abundant resources of natural fibers, but unfortunately, they have not been optimally utilized. The facts showed that from 2014 to 2020, there was a shortfall in meeting national demand of over USD 2.75 million per year. Therefore, in order to develop the utilization and improve the economic potential as well as the sustainability of natural fibers, a comprehensive review is required. The study aimed to demonstrate the availability, technological processing, and socio-economical aspects of natural fibers. Although many studies have been conducted on this material, it is necessary to revisit their potential from those perspectives to maximize their use. The renewability and biodegradability of natural fiber are part of the fascinating properties that lead to their prospective use in automotive, aerospace industries, structural and building constructions, bio packaging, textiles, biomedical applications, and military vehicles. To increase the range of applications, relevant technologies in conjunction with social approaches are very important. Hence, in the future, the utilization can be expanded in many fields by considering the basic characteristics and appropriate technologies of the natural fibers. Selecting the most prospective natural fiber for creating national products can be assisted by providing an integrated management system from a digitalized information on potential and related technological approaches. To make it happens, collaborations between stakeholders from the national R&D agency, the government as policy maker, and academic institutions to develop national bioproducts based on domestic innovation in order to move the circular economy forward are essential.

“…Figure 1 shows the pineapple structure that consists of stem, leaves, crown, roots and multiple fruits that evolved from the combination of individual fruitlets on a sole stalk. Pandit et al [28] reported that Smooth Cayenne, Queen, Spanish and Abacaxi are the four primary pineapple categories. Among the number of varieties that exist, Smooth Cayenne is the most marketed variety [29].…”

Pineapple waste accounts for a significant part of waste accumulated in landfill which will further contribute to the release of greenhouse gases. With the rising pineapple demands worldwide, the abundance of pineapple waste and its disposal techniques are a major concern. Exploiting the pineapple waste into valuable products could be the most sustainable way of managing these residues due to their useful properties and compositions. In this review, we concentrated on producing useful products from on-farm pineapple waste and processing waste. Bioenergy is the most suitable option for green energy to encounter the increasing demand for renewable energy and promotes sustainable development for agricultural waste. The presence of protease enzyme in pineapple waste makes it a suitable raw material for bromelain production. The high cellulose content present in pineapple waste has a potential for the production of cellulose nanocrystals, biodegradable packaging and bio-adsorbent, and can potentially be applied in the polymer, food and textile industries. Other than that, it is also a suitable substrate for the production of wine, vinegar and organic acid due to its high sugar content, especially from the peel wastes. The potentials of bioenergy production through biofuels (bioethanol, biobutanol and biodiesel) and biogas (biomethane and biohydrogen) were also assessed. The commercial use of pineapples is also highlighted. Despite the opportunities, future perspectives and challenges concerning pineapple waste utilisation to value-added goods were also addressed. Pineapple waste conversions have shown to reduce waste generation, and the products derived from the conversion would support the waste-to-wealth concept.
