ResearchOptimizing Ratios for Eco-Friendly Apparel Production- Pineapple and Cotton Blend

Abstract

This study investigates the mechanical and comfort properties of blended yarns comprising Pineapple Fiber (PAF) and Organic Cotton. As the textile industry shifts toward sustainability, PAF emerges as a high-strength, agro-waste alternative. Using a blended fiber, we optimized blending ratios (20:80, 30:70, and 40:60) and twist factors. Results indicate that a 30:70 PAF/Cotton blend offers the optimal balance between tensile strength, Comfort and moisture management. This study provides a strategic framework for scaling PAF-based organic apparel for kids wear in the global market.
