’ s PLNTFIBER collection is all about transforming agricultural waste into luxurious fabrics.

The firm’ s technology converts bamboo, seaweed and crop residues like pineapple leaves into soft textiles without chemical-intensive processes.

The closed-loop system requires 95 % less water than conventional cotton while also sequestering carbon.

All Pangaia’ s clothes are designed using circular economy principles.

They are biodegradable and are coloured using natural dyes from food waste. They also have antimicrobial finishes that reduce the need for constant washing.
