Nextevo says the facility is poised to leverage Vietnam’s strong end-to-end textile supply chain and provide a sustainable alternative fiber in the textile industry.
Nextevo’s expansion into Vietnam leverages agricultural byproducts to create sustainable textile materials and supports sustainable initiatives in the fashion industry. The facility also benefits from its proximity to major seaports, Ho Chi Minh City and vertically integrated textile manufacturers. Located in Dong Nai, this interconnectivity improves cost efficiency and reduces the need for long-distance land transportation, minimizing emissions.
Nextevo sources pineapple leaf fibers from the Philippines, Indonesia, East Africa and soon also from Vietnam and India. This varied and scalable purchasing claims to reduce climate risk and ensures a constant supply of raw materials.
It states that because pineapple leaves are a byproduct of fruit growing, they do not require additional land, water or fertilizers, thus minimizing the impact on the environment.
The leaves are compostable and biodegradable and offer sustainability benefits. They also have skin-friendly and breathable properties, making them ideal for innovative fashion and textile materials.
Nextevo supplies pineapple RTS fibers that we process ourselves, as well as blended yarns and blended fabrics.
The offering is customizable for spinners, yarn producers and brands, allowing flexibility across the entire sector, from raw materials to semi-finished products. This versatility allows their products to offer a variety of applications in apparel, accessories, footwear, home textiles and automotive interiors.
“The compelling story and benefits of pineapple fiber are sure to 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 can produce it at scale in our own facility to consistently serve our customers.”
